Sex Differences in Effects of Obesity on Reproductive Hormones and Glucose Metabolism in Early Puberty (2019)

Youth with obesity have lower SHBG than youth with NW, but obesity has differential effects on reproductive hormones in girls versus boys, which are apparent early in puberty. Ongoing longitudinal studies will evaluate the impact of obesity on reproductive hormones in girls and boys as puberty progresses.
Performance analysis of a new metal-insulator-semiconductor capacitor incorporated with Pt-SnO<i>x</i> catalytic layers for the detection of O2 and CO gases (1994)

The integration of the catalytic properties of platinum (Pt) and tin oxide (SnOx) in the Pt-SnOx-Si3N4-SiO2-Si metal-insulator-semiconductor (MIS) capacitor allows the detection of oxygen (O2) and carbon monoxide (CO) gases at a much lower operating temperature than that of the conventional solid-state gas detectors. The operation characteristics of the device for the detection of O2 and CO are described as a function of the gas pressure and temperature ranging from 27 to 100 °C. Repeatability of the device for CO detection in an open air ambient is also presented. A model based on adsorption/reaction of oxygen ions at the Pt-SnOx interface of the MIS capacitor is proposed for oxygen/carbon monoxide detection. The physical and chemical mechanisms responsible for the gas sensing behaviors are discussed. The detection mechanisms explain the device behaviors and account for the following experimental observations and reaction kinetic analysis of the experimental data: (1) the dependence of the reaction kinetics on the square root of the O2 partial pressure, (2) the requirement of oxygen as a constituent of the background gas for CO detection, (3) the inverse proportional relationship of the reaction kinetics to CO partial pressure, and (4) the need of Pt and SnOx as the catalytic layers in the MIS capacitor for gas detection.
Graves’ disease thyrotoxicosis and propylthiouracil related agranulocytosis successfully treated with therapeutic plasma exchange and g-csf followed by total thyroidectomy. (2017)

Antithyroid drugs can be a rare cause of agranulocytosis (0.5% of treated patients). Suspension of these drugs is mandatory in these patients and may result in worsening hyperthyroidism. We report the case of a 27-year-old woman who is 3 months post-partum, breastfeeding, and suffering with Graves' disease hyperthyroidism treated first with methimazole and then with propylthiouracil due to a methimazole allergy. She was admitted for urosepsis and agranulocytosis. The patient was diagnosed with propylthiouracil related agranulocytosis, diffuse toxic goiter and thyro-gastric syndrome. Antithyroid drug therapy was stopped resulting in a worsening of thyrotoxicosis. Agranulocytosis was treated with 8 doses of G-CSF with full recovery. To rapidly restore euthyroidism and to perform a thyroidectomy, the patient received 6 therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) procedures, to clear thyroid hormones and anti-TSH receptor antibodies from blood, resulting in a pre-surgical euthyroid state without antithyroid drug therapy. Two years after thyroidectomy, the patient is well under thyroid hormone replacement therapy with a normal granulocyte count.
Nuclear Receptor Signaling and Cardiac Energetics (2004)

The heart has a tremendous capacity for ATP generation, allowing it to function as an efficient pump throughout the life of the organism. The adult myocardium uses either fatty acid or glucose oxidation as its main energy source. Under normal conditions, the adult heart derives most of its energy through oxidation of fatty acids in mitochondria. However, the myocardium has a remarkable ability to switch between carbohydrate and fat fuel sources so that ATP production is maintained at a constant rate in diverse physiological and dietary conditions. This fuel selection flexibility is important for normal cardiac function. Although cardiac energy conversion capacity and metabolic flux is modulated at many levels, an important mechanism of regulation occurs at the level of gene expression. The expression of genes involved in multiple energy transduction pathways is dynamically regulated in response to developmental, physiological, and pathophysiological cues. This review is focused on gene transcription pathways involved in short- and long-term regulation of myocardial energy metabolism. Much of our knowledge about cardiac metabolic regulation comes from studies focused on mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation. The genes involved in this key energy metabolic pathway are transcriptionally regulated by members of the nuclear receptor superfamily, specifically the fatty acid-activated peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) and the nuclear receptor coactivator, PPARgamma coactivator-1alpha (PGC-1alpha). The dynamic regulation of the cardiac PPAR/PGC-1 complex in accordance with physiological and pathophysiological states will be described.

Through-wall imaging (TWI) by radar: 2-D tomographic results and analyses (2005)

A two-dimensional nonlinear inverse scattering technique is developed for imaging objects in a multilayered medium that simulates the effects of building walls in the context of through-wall imaging (TWI). The effectiveness and capacity of the inversion algorithm and the feasibility of through-wall imaging is demonstrated via a number of numerical examples. It has been shown that using multifrequency data high-quality image reconstruction can be achieved with a limited array view.
Physical and Barrier Properties of Plasma-Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposited α-SiCN:H Films with Different Hydrogen Contents (2003)

This work investigates the thermal stability and physical and barrier properties of two species of plasma-enhanced chemical-vapor-deposited (PECVD) amorphous silicon–nitrocarbide (α-SiCN:H) films with different hydrogen contents and dielectric constants of less than 5. It is found that the α-SiCN:H film with a higher hydrogen content has a lower dielectric constant. Both species of α-SiCN:H films are thermally stable at temperatures up to 500°C. However, a degraded dielectric strength was observed for the α-SiCN:H film with a lower k-value of 4, which has a much higher hydrogen content. This may be attributed to hydrogen-related defects, such as Si–H+–Si hydrogen bridges, and numerous Si–H weak bonds produced by the high hydrogen content in the α-SiCN:H film.

Screening for HIV: A Review of the Evidence for the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (2005)

Background: HIV infection affects 850 000 to 950 000 persons in the United States. The management and outcomes of HIV infection have changed substantially since the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force issued recommendations in 1996. Purpose: To synthesize the evidence on risks and benefits of screening for HIV infection. Data Sources: MEDLINE, the Cochrane Library, reference lists, and experts. Study Selection: Studies of screening, risk factor assessment, accuracy of testing, follow-up testing, and efficacy of interventions. Data Extraction: Data on settings, patients, interventions, and outcomes were abstracted for included studies; quality was graded according to criteria developed by the Task Force. Data Synthesis: No trials directly link screening for HIV with clinical outcomes. Many HIV-infected persons in the United States currently receive diagnosis at advanced stages of disease, and almost all will progress to AIDS if untreated. Screening based on risk factors could identify persons at substantially higher risk but would miss a substantial proportion of those infected. Screening tests for HIV are extremely (>99%) accurate. Acceptance rates for screening and use of recommended interventions vary widely. Highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) substantially reduces the risk for clinical progression or death in patients with immunologically advanced disease. Along with other adverse events, HAART is associated with an increased risk for cardiovascular complications, although absolute rates are low after 3 to 4 years. Limitations: Data are insufficient to estimate the effects of screening and interventions on transmission rates or in patients with less immunologically advanced disease. Long-term data on adverse events associated with HAART are not yet available. Conclusions: Benefits of HIV screening appear to outweigh harms. The yield from screening higher-prevalence populations would be substantially higher than that from screening the general population.
The effect of oregano essential oil (Origanum vulgare L.) on broiler performance (2010)

Beneficial effects of botanical additives in farm animal may arise from activation on feed intake and digestive secretions, imune stimulation, antibacterial, coccidiostatical, antihelmintical, antiviral or antiinflamatory activity. This study was conducted in order to determine the use of oregano oil in broiler nutrition as a natural growth promoting substances instead of antibiotics. Different levels of oregano oil added to standard diet, to determine its effect on weight gain, daily weight gain, and feed conversion ratio compared to control group. Two hundred day-old broilers (Ross-308) were divided into groups of fifty chicken each, and randomly assigned to based diet. Experimental groups were as follow: LM control group without additive, L1 a 0.3% oregano oil group, L2 a 0.7% oregano oil group, L3 a 1% oregano oil group. The highest weight gain was observed on the L3 (2484 g), and followed by L2 (2463 g), L1 (2401 g) and LM (2365 g). The addition of oregano oil on the diets improved daily live weight by approximatley 1.5% (L1), 4.1% (L2) and 5% (L3) compared to the control group. As a general conclusion from all groups with oregano results were better than the group without, but the addition of 1% oregano oil to the diet improved feed conversion ratio by approximatley 4 % compared to the control group. In conclusion the results show that essential oil of Origanum vulgare L. culd be considered a potential natural growth promoter for poultry.

Discovery and Identification of an Application for Inter-Application Communication on a Home Network Using UPnP (2016)

Thousands of applications are available for Desktop, Smartphone and Tablet environments. The inter-application communication across these devices is very limited while using them on a home network to share data. This paper discusses about the possibility of inter-application communication across devices on a home network using UPnP. It provides a mechanism to discover and identify an application on a home network using an Universally Unique Identifier (UUID) for the inter-application communication. This paper also demonstrate the discovery and identification of an application on a home network using UPnP with a prototype implementation.
A segmented traction drive system with a small dc bus capacitor (2012)

The standard voltage source inverter (VSI), widely used in electric vehicle/hybrid electric vehicle (EV/HEV) traction drives, requires a bulky dc bus capacitor, typically made of polypropylene films, to absorb the large ripple currents generated by the pulse width modulated switching actions and prevent them from damaging and shortening the battery's life. The dc bus capacitor presents a significant barrier to meeting the U.S. DRIVE targets for cost, volume, and weight for inverters. Currently the dc bus capacitor contributes up to 20% of the cost and weight of an inverter and up to 30% of an inverter's volume. The large ripple currents become even more problematic for the film capacitors (the capacitor technology of choice for EVs/HEVs) in high temperature environments as their ripple current handling capability decreases rapidly with rising temperatures. There is thus an urgent need to reduce the ripple currents. This paper presents a segmented traction drive system that can significantly decrease the ripple currents and thus the size of the dc bus capacitor.
CLIP‐region mediated interaction of Invariant chain with MHC class I molecules (2006)

An association between the MHC class II chaperone molecule Invariant chain (Ii) and MHC class I molecules is known to occur, but the basis of the interaction is undetermined. Evidence is presented here that the CLIP region of Ii is involved in this interaction. A peptide encoding residues 91-99 of CLIP (MRMATPLLM) stabilised multiple MHC class I alleles, with the methionine residue at position 99 having a crucial role in binding to H2-K(b), whereas methionine at position 91 also appeared important in binding to RT1-A(a). Ii can also be detected in the class I MHC peptide loading complex. These data provide an explanation for the association of Ii and MHC class I molecules.
Mushroom Bodies Suppress Locomotor Activity in <i>Drosophila melanogaster</i> (1998)

Locomotor activity of single, freely walking flies in small tubes is analyzed in the time domain of several hours. To assess the influence of the mushroom bodies on walking activity, three independent noninvasive methods interfering with mushroom body function are applied: chemical ablation of the mushroom body precursor cells; a mutant affecting Kenyon cell differentiation (mushroom body miniature); and the targeted expression of the catalytic subunit of tetanus toxin in subsets of Kenyon cells. All groups of flies with mushroom body defects show an elevated level of total walking activity. This increase is attributable to the slower and less complete attenuation of activity during the experiment. Walking activity in normal and mushroom body-deficient flies is clustered in active phases (bouts) and rest periods (pauses). Neither the initiation nor the internal structure, but solely the termination of bouts seems to be affected by the mushroom body defects. How this finding relates to the well-documented role of the mushroom bodies in olfactory learning and memory remains to be understood.

Somatic Cell Hybrids of Canine Peritoneal Macrophages and SV40-Transformed Human Cells: Derivation, Characterization, and Infection with Ehrlichia canis (1980)

Somatic cell hybrids were obtained by fusion of canine peritoneal macrophages and SV40-transformed human skin fibroblasts. A cell line (WRH-2) was established from a single isolated hybrid clone. The WRH-2 cell line has been serially passaged 60 times and has a population doubling time of approximately 24 hours. Karyotypic analysis showed the modal number of chromosomes to be 80, with a selective segregation of canine chromosomes. Expression of incorporated canine DNA was substantiated by cellular enzyme activities and antigen expression. The susceptibility of 5% to 7% of WRH-2 cells to Ehrlichia canis infection was associated with phagocytic properties of these cells. Magnetic separation of phagocytic cells after ingestion of carbonyl iron resulted in a significant enhancement of the phagocytic population with a concomitant increase in the percentage of cells susceptible to ehrlichial infection. Serial passage of the selected subpopulation of hybird cells, however, resulted in a rapid diminution in the percentage of phagocytic cells.
Singularities and regularities on line pictures via symmetrical trapezoids (1998)

An algorithm that decomposes a line image into singular and regular regions is presented. We define a contour trapezoid as the building block of regular regions, and postulate a maximal trapezoid set as the core of regular regions. Then, we describe an algorithm that calculates a maximal trapezoid set of a polygon and show how to use it to find a skeleton of a polygonal approximation of a contour. Experiments are explained to show the behavior of the new concept on real images as compared to previous algorithms.
Thymidylate synthase expression: an independent prognostic factor for local recurrence, distant metastasis, disease-free and overall survival in rectal cancer. (2000)

Several studies have suggested that the intratumoral level of thymidylate synthase (TS) in colorectal tumors correlates with survival. We have studied the correlation between TS expression in primary rectal cancer and locoregional recurrence, distant metastases, and survival. TS enzyme levels were evaluated immunohistochemically using the specific monoclonal antibody TS 106 in paraffin-embedded tumors from 243 patients who had undergone primary surgery for rectal cancer during the years 1980-1993. All patients were included in prospective randomized trials aimed at determining the clinical value of a short preoperative course of local radiation therapy (five doses of 5 Gy each). With a median follow-up of 94 months (range, 43-202 months), it was observed by multivariate analysis that Dukes' stage and TS expression were independent prognostic markers of locoregional recurrence (P < 0.001 and P = 0.038, respectively) distant metastasis (P < 0.001 and P = 0.011, respectively) disease-free survival (P < 0.001 and 0.014, respectively), and overall survival (P < 0.001 and 0.020, respectively). By multivariate analysis, preoperative irradiation therapy showed a borderline improvement in locoregional recurrence (P = 0.051). No other factors, such as age, sex, differentiation of the tumor, or p53 expression, were noted to be independent prognostic factors for clinical outcome in these patients. We concluded that the intratumoral expression of TS in primary rectal cancer is an independent prognostic factor for locoregional recurrence, distant metastases, disease-free survival, and overall survival. Patients with low intratumoral TS expression had a significantly better outcome than those with high TS expression.
On-Line Test of Signal Validation Software on the LOBI-MOD2 Facility in Ispra, Italy (1992)

A computer program for the detection of abrupt changes in nonhardware redundant measurement signals that uses different methods of analytical redundancy is developed by the Gesellschaft für Reaktorsicherheit, Garching, Federal Republic of Germany. This program, instrumental fault detection and identification (IFDI) module, validates in real time output signals of power plant components that are scanned at a fixed rate.The IFDI module, implemented on an IBM-compatible personal computer (PC) with an 80386 processor, is tested on-line at the light water reactor off-normal behavior investigations (LOBI)-MOD2 facility in the Joint Research Centre, Ispra, Italy, during the loss-offeedwater experiment BT-15/BT-16 on November 22, 1990. The measurement signals validated by the IFDI module originate from one of the two LOBI-MOD2 facility’s steam generators. During the experiment, sensor faults are simulated by falsifying the measurement signals through electrical resistances arranged in series.Questions about the signal validation software and the steam generator’s model are dealt with briefly, while the experimental environment and the results obtained are discussed in detail.
