Troponin T, troponin I and creatine kinase-MB mass after elective coronary stenting (1996)

In our series, Tn-I measurement shows the highest ability to detect MMD, being positive in 37% of stent and 14% of PTCA cases. Elective coronary stenting associated with greater release of CK-MB mass and Tn-I than is conventional PTCA. This finding is mainly determined by cases of side branch occlusion, which account for most, but not all, periprocedural MMD in the stent group.
Research in automatic profile generation and passage-level routing with LMDS (1995)

This paper describes the development of a prototype system to generate routing profiles automatically from sets of relevant documents provided by a user, and to assign relevance scores to the documents selected by these profiles. The prototype was developed with the Logicon Message Dissemination System (LMDS) for participation in the Fourth Text REtrieval Conference (TREC-4). Each generated profile contains two sets of terms: a very small set to select documents, and a much larger set to assign a relevance score to each document selected. The profile generator chooses each term and assigns a weight to it, based on its frequency of occurrence in the set of documents provided by the user, and on its frequency of occurrence in a large representative corpus of documents. The LMDS search engine uses the resulting profiles to select documents, and then passes the documents to the scoring prototype for ranking. The score assigned is a function of the weights of all profile terms found in the ...
Ohio SB5 and the Attempt to “Yeshiva” Public University Faculty (2013)

In 2011, the introduction of Ohio Senate Bill 5 (SB5) attempted to drastically curtail public sector collective bargaining in Ohio. The bill included a proposed amendment designed by the Inter-University Council of Ohio, an organization of the top administrators of the state universities in Ohio, under the guise of applying the United States Supreme Court’s decision in NLRB v. Yeshiva to faculty at Ohio’s public universities. The avowed intent of the proposed language was to classify all faculty as supervisors or managers and thereby make them ineligible to bargain collectively. After mounting opposition and grass roots efforts, SB5 was ultimately revoked by voter referendum. The general assumption was that if SB5 had gone into effect, faculty would be automatically classified as supervisors and/or managers and be excluded from collective bargaining. Thus, the only way to stop the elimination of faculty from being “Yeshiva’d” was to revoke SB5. This paper questions that assumption and analyzes several questions about the attempt to utilize the Yeshiva decision to re-classify all faculty as supervisors or managers that remained unanswered. Answers to these questions not only provide insight into future issues for higher education faculty in Ohio, but also in other states that attempt similar legislative maneuvering.
[Application of transcranial magnetic stimulation for monitoring of the motor cortex condition in dynamics in healthy subjects]. (2003)

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is used already for sixteen years for studying human central nervous system. The main objective of this work was to study motor thresholds and their hemispheric asymmetry in healthy subjects during TMS. We examined 31 righthanded healthy students. Their motor thresholds were measured in May (before vacations), September (immediately after vacations), and November (two months after vacations). Magnetic stimulator Neurosoft-MS (Ivanovo, Russia) was used for TNS of the motor cortex. It was shown that in the absence of regular active functional loads on the right hand, the motor thresholds in healthy righthanders significantly increased under the TMS of the left hemisphere, and hemispheric asymmetry disappeared under conditions both of muscle relaxation and voluntary contraction. Motor thresholds under the left-side TMS decreased and hemispheric asymmetry recovered with the restart of the regular active functional loads on the right hand.
Corynebacterium glutamicum whcB, a stationary phase-specific regulatory gene (2011)

The function of whcB, one of the four whiB homologues of Corynebacterium glutamicum, was assessed. Cells carrying the P(180)-whcB clone, and thus overexpressing the whcB gene, showed retarded growth, probably due to increased sensitivity to oxidants, whereas cells lacking whcB (ΔwhcB) did not. However, growth retardation was not observed in cells with additionally whcE deleted. Furthermore, the ΔwhcE phenotype, characterized by slow growth and sensitivity to oxidants, was reversed in cells carrying P(180)-whcB. Like the whcE gene, which is also known as a whiB homologue, the whcB gene was preferentially expressed in stationary phase. Determination of the genes under regulation of whcB using two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis identified several genes involved in electron transfer reactions that were regulated in cells carrying P(180)-whcB. Collectively, these findings indicate that whcB function requires whcE. Furthermore, whcB and whcE are paralogues but perform distinct regulatory roles during growth under oxidative stress.

<i>Muscleblind‐like 2</i> (<i>Mbnl2</i>) ‐deficient mice as a model for myotonic dystrophy (2008)

Abstract Myotonic dystrophy (DM), the most common adult‐onset muscular dystrophy, is caused by CTG or CCTG microsatellite repeat expansions. Expanded DM mRNA microsatellite repeats are thought to accumulate in the nucleus, sequester Muscleblind proteins, and interfere with alternative mRNA splicing. Muscleblind2 ( Mbnl2 ) is a member of the family of Muscleblind RNA binding proteins (that also include Mbnl1 and Mbnl3 ) that are known to bind CTG/CCTG RNA repeats. Recently, it was demonstrated that Mbnl1 ‐deficient mice have characteristic features of human DM, including myotonia and defective chloride channel expression. Here, we demonstrate that Mbnl2 ‐deficient mice also develop myotonia and have skeletal muscle pathology consistent with human DM. We also find defective expression and mRNA splicing of the chloride channel (Clcn1) in skeletal muscle that likely contributes to the myotonia phenotype. Our results support the hypothesis that Muscleblind proteins and specifically MBNL2 contribute to the pathogenesis of human DM. Developmental Dynamics 237:403–410, 2008. © 2008 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
Expression of Fas Ligand in Metastatic Prostatic Carcinoma: Suggestive of Possible Clonal Expansion of Subpopulation With Metastatic Potential (2001)

Fas ligand (FasL) is a type II transmembrane tumor necrosis factor family protein, known to trigger apoptosis in cells that bear the FasL receptor, Fas. The authors found that normal prostate, benign hyperplasia, and most prostatic carcinoma cells at the primary site did not express FasL, whereas metastatic prostatic carcinoma cells in lymph nodes and bone marrow displayed almost uniform, immunohistochemically detectable, FasL expression. However, small foci of FasL-positive prostatic carcinoma cells amid a vast majority of FasL-negative tumor cells were noted at the primary sites in patients with distant metastases. Analysis of the FasL gene and its mRNA by polymerase chain reaction and reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction, respectively, suggested that the expression of immunohistochemically detectable FasL in metastatic tumor cells was not due to mutation in the FasL gene with resulting overexpression. Further, FasL expression was detectable in the acinar epithelial cells of prostates with morphologic atrophic changes, suggesting that FasL also plays a role in the physiologic apoptosis process of noncancerous prostate. The current data suggest that a subpopulation of prostate carcinoma cells clonally expresses FasL, and this subpopulation may have metastatic potential. Evaluation of FasL expression in the primary tumor thus may provide a useful parameter for predicting metastatic potential of the tumor.

Inhibitors in hemophilia patients: Current status and management (1994)

The development of inhibitor antibodies is a long-standing, well-documented complication of coagulation factor replacement therapy and is difficult to treat. Previous estimates of 5-15% of patients developing inhibitors may be low, since newer data suggest a wider range of occurrence. Factors that appear to affect inhibitor development include the severity of hemophilia, age, genetics, and, possibly, the type of replacement therapy administered. Recent studies raise the concern that recombinant factor therapies may be associated with more rapid development and higher levels of inhibitors in previously untreated patients. However, results of different studies are often difficult to compare owing to differences in methodology and populations studied. Further studies standardized in design and methods are clearly needed. Management of patients with inhibitors involves control of acute bleeding episodes and, over the long term, induction of immune tolerance for the coagulation replacement therapy. Many with low or moderate levels of inhibitors may be treated simply by administering higher doses of clotting factor. Other therapies appropriate for those with high levels of inhibitors include porcine F VIII and factor VIII "bypassing" agents, such as recombinant factor VIIa. Long-term immune tolerance has been achieved through the high-dose "Bonn" regimen and immunosuppressive regimens such as the "Malmö" method. Although management of inhibitor patients has improved, it still represents a major challenge. Further research is needed to identify which patients will develop inhibitors and tolerance, as well as to develop better methods to manage, reduce, or eliminate inhibitors from these patients.
Droplet contact angle behavior on a hybrid surface with hydrophobic and hydrophilic properties (2012)

A hybrid surface consisting of an array of hydrophobic and hydrophilic sites was designed and fabricated in an effort to better understand the effects of microscale surface features and chemistry on wettability. A model based on energy minimization was developed to design and predict the wettability of hybrid surfaces. Measured advancing, receding, and equilibrium contact angles fit the proposed model well. Experiments show that a higher degree of hydrophobicity results in higher contact angles and that contact angle hysteresis increases with decreasing micropillar spacing (b/a). Moreover, measured roll-off angle as an indicator of droplet shedding, decreases with b/a.
Concurrent Structure-Independent Fault Detection Schemes for the Advanced Encryption Standard (2010)

The Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) has been lately accepted as the symmetric cryptography standard for confidential data transmission. However, the natural and malicious injected faults reduce its reliability and may cause confidential information leakage. In this paper, we study concurrent fault detection schemes for reaching a reliable AES architecture. Specifically, we propose low-cost structure-independent fault detection schemes for the AES encryption and decryption. We have obtained new formulations for the fault detection of SubBytes and inverse SubBytes using the relation between the input and the output of the S-box and the inverse S-box. The proposed schemes are independent of the way the S-box and the inverse S-box are constructed. Therefore, they can be used for both the S-boxes and the inverse S-boxes using lookup tables and those utilizing logic gates based on composite fields. Our simulation results show the error coverage of greater than 99 percent for the proposed schemes. Moreover, the proposed and the previously reported fault detection schemes have been implemented on the most recent Xilinx Virtex FPGAs. Their area and delay overheads have been compared and it is shown that the proposed schemes outperform the previously reported ones.
Cross-Talk Between Mitochondria and NADPH Oxidase: Effects of Mild Mitochondrial Dysfunction on Angiotensin II-Mediated Increase in Nox Isoform Expression and Activity in Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells (2009)

Mitochondria and NADPH oxidase activation are concomitantly involved in pathogenesis of many vascular diseases. However, possible cross-talk between those ROS-generating systems is unclear. We induced mild mitochondrial dysfunction due to mitochondrial DNA damage after 24 h incubation of rabbit aortic smooth muscle (VSMC) with 250 ng/mL ethidium bromide (EtBr). VSMC remained viable and had 29% less oxygen consumption, 16% greater baseline hydrogen peroxide, and unchanged glutathione levels. Serum-stimulated proliferation was unaltered at 24 h. Although PCR amplification of several mtDNA sequences was preserved, D-Loop mtDNA region showed distinct amplification of shorter products after EtBr. Such evidence for DNA damage was further enhanced after angiotensin-II (AngII) incubation. Remarkably, the normally observed increase in VSMC membrane fraction NADPH oxidase activity after AngII was completely abrogated after EtBr, together with failure to upregulate Nox1 mRNA expression. Conversely, basal Nox4 mRNA expression increased 1.6-fold, while being unresponsive to AngII. Similar loss in AngII redox response occurred after 24 h antimycin-A incubation. Enhanced Nox4 expression was unassociated with endoplasmic reticulum stress markers. Protein disulfide isomerase, an NADPH oxidase regulator, exhibited increased expression and inverted pattern of migration to membrane fraction after EtBr. These results unravel functionally relevant cross-talk between mitochondria and NADPH oxidase, which markedly affects redox responses to AngII.
Exclusive Breastfeeding Protects Against Bacterial Colonization and Day Care Exposure to Otitis Media (1997)

Modifiable factors in the onset of AOM and OME episodes during the first 2 years of life include early age at colonization (</=3 months of age), day care outside the home, and not being breastfed.
[Laryngeal reinnervation in the dog]. (1989)

In a group of 7 operated dogs, atrophy of the laryngeal musculature begins 3-4 weeks after recurrent nerve division. The atrophy increases progressively as time runs out, so that at the ninth week (last control done) the degree of atrophy of the posterior cricoarytenoid muscle is well marked as compared with that of the initial stage (4-5 weeks). In another set of 8 dogs reinnervation of this muscle was successful in 5 animals. In some of them up to 36 months elapsed after the cutting of the recurrent nerve and 14 weeks after application of a neuromuscular graft (composed of the hypoglossal ansa and a sheet of sternothyroid muscle). Histologic recuperation was good in all cases, but in only 2 of them the motility of the vocal cord at stimulation of the branch of the nerve was effective. The conclusion drawn is that histologic regeneration does now always parallel the functional one. Nevertheless, it seems possible that the elapsing of more time should be necessary in order to restore motility. This point demands new and broader experience before a positive answer can be given.
Oct transcription factors in development and stem cells: insights and mechanisms (2013)

The POU domain family of transcription factors regulates developmental processes ranging from specification of the early embryo to terminal differentiation. About half of these factors display substantial affinity for an 8 bp DNA site termed the octamer motif, and are hence known as Oct proteins. Oct4 (Pou5f1) is a well-known Oct factor, but there are other Oct proteins with varied and essential roles in development. This Primer outlines our current understanding of Oct proteins and the regulatory mechanisms that govern their role in developmental processes and concludes with the assertion that more investigation into their developmental functions is needed.

Electronic pulse-type fault locator experience (1955)

Pulse-type fault analyzers are being used in greater numbers. Applications are not confined to power companies as oil companies now make use of them on their telephone lines. The installation of this type of instrument at most costs 10 per cent as much as the transient fault locator. Thus it can pay for itself as a result of a few outages.
Adaptive harmonic jammer canceler (1995)

A new adaptive harmonic jammer canceler is proposed. It is based on the use of two sensors that enable an adaptive generation of a reference signal that is uncorrelated with the desired signal. This reference signal is used for the reconstruction of the desired signal by an adaptive subtraction method. This canceler is well suited to radio communications. A theoretical analysis of the convergence of the coupled algorithms is presented with the help of the associated ordinary differential equation introduced by L. Ljung. Numerical simulations illustrate the different proposed algorithms.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>

On the Properties of Seed Oil of Firmiana platonifola schott et Endl. (1961)

In this study we found following fact. The properties of seed oil of Firmiana platonifola, Schott, et Endl. is quite different from that of china wood(Chinese Tung) oil. It belongs to the non-drying oil and chiefly consists of linoleo-dioleoglyceride and palmito-dioleoglyceride.
