[Religious dogmatism and ecclesiogenic neuroses. A quasi-experimental contribution to Catholic church communities between tradition and pleuralism]. (1993)

Schaetzing (1955) characterizes "ecclesiogen neurosis" as mental disturbances, which are caused by "dogmatism of the church". To prove his thesis that the factor "dogmatism of the church" goes along with ecclesiogen-neurotic symptoms we use as factorial levels two different forms of Catholic congregations, that is to say a "traditional congregation" (high "dogmatism of the church") and a "pluralistic" one (low "dogmatism of the church"). In this quasi-experimental design 93 Catholics who are involved in the church of a "traditional" congregation and 70 of a "pluralistic" one are examined. The correctness of categorizing these congregations to the factorial levels is proved empirically. To record ecclesiogen-neurotic symptoms we consider "religious anxiety" (Kim, 1988) and "depressivity" (Zerssen, 1976). Our findings show that active Catholics of both congregations show a distinct higher expressivity in the dependent variable "depressivity" compared with the mean population. The comparison of both congregation samples by analysis of covariance shows furthermore, that the dependent variable "religious anxiety" is significantly higher in the "traditional" congregation than in the "pluralistic" one. The results are later critically discussed.
Southern Ocean GLOBEC Research and the Future (2009)

(First paragraph) The International Global Ocean Ecosystems Dynamics (GLOBEC) Programme will end in early 2010, after almost 20 years. GLOBEC science has provided fundamental changes in our understanding of the scales of interactions in marine ecosystems, alternative views of marine food webs, and the influence of humans in marine ecosystem processes. Since Southern Ocean GLOBEC (SO GLOBEC) was one of the regional research programmes it is appropriate to reflect on i) its specific contributions, ii) how these might guide future Southern Ocean research, and iii) the key gaps for our future understanding of Southern Ocean ecosystems and the impact that global change and human uses will have on them.
Do not mask the mask: use it as a premedicant (2007)

Playing with an anesthesia mask given during a preanesthesia visit relieved anxiety, improved mask acceptance quality and shortened the induction period. We believe that this type of premedication would be feasible in gaseous induction of anesthesia in children.
Fibrin D-Dimer and Coronary Heart Disease (2001)

Although there may be an association between circulating D-dimer values and CHD, further studies are needed to determine the extent to which this is causal.

Enhanced Interfacial Interaction and CO<sub>2</sub> Separation Performance of Mixed Matrix Membrane by Incorporating Polyethylenimine-Decorated Metal–Organic Frameworks (2014)

Polyethylenimine (PEI) was immobilized by MIL-101(Cr) (∼550 nm) via a facile vacuum-assisted method, and the obtained PEI@MIL-101(Cr) was then incorporated into sulfonated poly(ether ether ketone) (SPEEK) to fabricate mixed matrix membranes (MMMs). High loading and uniform dispersion of PEI in MIL-101(Cr) were achieved as demonstrated by ICP, FT-IR, XPS, and EDS-mapping. The PEI both in the pore channels and on the surface of MIL-101(Cr) improved the filler-polymer interface compatibility due to the electrostatic interaction and hydrogen bond between sulfonic acid group and PEI, and simultaneously rendered abundant amine carriers to facilitate the transport of CO2 through reversible reaction. MMMs were evaluated in terms of gas separation performance, thermal stability, and mechanical property. The as-prepared SPEEK/PEI@MIL-101(Cr) MMMs showed increased gas permeability and selectivity, and the highest ideal selectivities for CO2/CH4 and CO2/N2 were 71.8 and 80.0 (at a CO2 permeability of 2490 Barrer), respectively. Compared with the membranes doped with unfilled MIL-101(Cr), the ideal selectivities of CO2/CH4 and CO2/N2 for PEI@MIL-101(Cr)-doped membranes were increased by 128.1 and 102.4 %, respectively, at 40 wt % filler loading, surpassing the 2008 Robeson upper bound line. Moreover, the mechanical property and thermal stability of SPEEK/PEI@MIL-101(Cr) were enhanced.
Effects of tetrodotoxin on naloxone-precipitated withdrawal syndrome in morphine-dependent rats and mice (2001)

The protective and therapeutic effects of tetrodotoxin (TTX, rats, 0.003-0.1 μg·kg -1 , im, for 5 d; mice, 0.02-0.2 μg·kg -1 ·d -1 , ip, for 2 d) on withdrawal syndrome induced by naloxone (Nal)were investigated in morphine dependent rats and mice. The results showed that the loss of body weight of rats was significantly inhibited (P0.01) by TTX. The jumping responses precipitated by Nal in mice were inhibited significantly by TTX administered 2 d before the challenge with Nal. TTX significantly inhibited the withdrawal syndrome evoked by Nal in morphine dependent rats and mice, and its effects were similar to that of clonidine. In the range of dose used in this study, TTX did not affect the blood pressure, respiration and heart rate, and did not affect the nicotine induced neural reflex responses in anesthetized rats. TTX had no effects on ethanoic acid writhing response and spontaneous movements of the mice.
Human Heat Shock Factors 1 and 2 Are Differentially Activated and Can Synergistically Induce hsp70 Gene Transcription (1994)

Two members of the heat shock transcription factor (HSF) family, HSF1 and HSF2, both function as transcriptional activators of heat shock gene expression. However, the inducible DNA-binding activities of these two factors are regulated by distinct pathways. HSF1 is activated by heat shock and other forms of stress, whereas HSF2 is activated during hemin-induced differentiation of human K562 erythroleukemia cells, suggesting a role for HSF2 in regulating heat shock gene expression under nonstress conditions such as differentiation and development. To understand the distinct regulatory pathways controlling HSF2 and HSF1 activities, we have examined the biochemical and physical properties of the control and activated states of HSF2 and compared these with the properties of HSF1. Our results reveal that the inactive, non-DNA-binding forms of HSF2 and HSF1 exist primarily in the cytoplasm of untreated K562 cells as a dimer and monomer, respectively. This difference in the control oligomeric states suggests that the mechanisms used to control the DNA-binding activities of HSF2 and HSF1 are distinct. Upon activation, both factors acquire DNA-binding activity, oligomerize to a trimeric state, and translocate into the nucleus. Interestingly, we find that simultaneous activation of both HSF2 and HSF1 in K562 cells subjected to hemin treatment followed by heat shock results in the synergistic induction of hsp70 gene transcription, suggesting a novel level of complex regulation of heat shock gene expression.
MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF ZIRCONIA TOUGHENED ALUMINA PREPARED BY DIFFERENT METHODS (1986)

Zirconia Toughened Alumina (ZTA) ceramics were prepared by two different methods from the same raw materials (powders). The first one using attrition milling and hot-pressing ; the second, electrochemical dispersion, slip casting and pressureless sintering. The influence of the processing parameters on the mechanical properties of dense material is examined. The influence of ZrO2 and Y2O3 contents is discussed.
Pulse line ion accelerator concept (2006)

The pulse line ion accelerator concept was motivated by the desire for an inexpensive way to accelerate intense short pulse heavy ion beams to regimes of interest for studies of high energy density physics and warm dense matter. A pulse power driver applied at one end of a helical pulse line creates a traveling wave pulse that accelerates and axially confines the heavy ion beam pulse. Acceleration scenarios with constant parameter helical lines are described which result in output energies of a single stage much larger than the several hundred kilovolt peak voltages on the line, with a goal of $3--5\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{MeV}/\mathrm{\text{meter}}$ acceleration gradients. The concept might be described crudely as an ``air core'' induction linac where the pulse-forming network is integrated into the beam line so the accelerating voltage pulse can move along with the ions to get voltage multiplication.
SARS-CoV-2 Infection: A Role for S1P/S1P Receptor Signaling in the Nervous System? (2020)

The recent coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is still spreading worldwide. The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2), the virus responsible for COVID-19, binds to its receptor angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), and replicates within the cells of the nasal cavity, then spreads along the airway tracts, causing mild clinical manifestations, and, in a majority of patients, a persisting loss of smell. In some individuals, SARS-CoV-2 reaches and infects several organs, including the lung, leading to severe pulmonary disease. SARS-CoV-2 induces neurological symptoms, likely contributing to morbidity and mortality through unknown mechanisms. Sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) is a bioactive sphingolipid with pleiotropic properties and functions in many tissues, including the nervous system. S1P regulates neurogenesis and inflammation and it is implicated in multiple sclerosis (MS). Notably, Fingolimod (FTY720), a modulator of S1P receptors, has been approved for the treatment of MS and is being tested for COVID-19. Here, we discuss the putative role of S1P on viral infection and in the modulation of inflammation and survival in the stem cell niche of the olfactory epithelium. This could help to design therapeutic strategies based on S1P-mediated signaling to limit or overcome the host-virus interaction, virus propagation and the pathogenesis and complications involving the nervous system.

Thiophene-Based Poly(Arylene Ether Ketone)s: Polymerization of Bis(5- Chlorothienyl-2) Ketone with 4,4'-Isopropylidenediphenol (1992)

Our research is focused on the general synthesis of a new class of wholly aromatic thermoplastic engineering polymers based on novel thiophene monomers. Structural aerospace and automotive composites that utilize thermoplastic matrix resins have the potential to offer significant performance and processing advantages over thermosetting matrix resins; therefore, research is targetted for the development of such advanced thermoplastic resins using new chemistry methodologies. Introduction of 2,5-thiophene units would allow for the synthesis of novel thermoplastic poly(arylene ether ketone)s possessing a wider processing window related to the unique molecular geometry of the 2,5 thiophene moiety; its nonlinearity has a 148 deg angle which is between the 180 deg and 120 deg angles associated with the commercially utilized p- and m- phenylene units. Our primary focus was to synthesize direct analogues of ICI's Poly(ether ether ketone), PEEK, elucidating whether nucleophilic aromatic substitution reactions on activated halothiophenes proceed with sufficient conversions to allow for the synthesis of novel thermoplastic poly(arylene ether ketone)s. The short-term objective was to synthesize model compounds by direct nucleophilic substitution of chlorine on thiophene by addition of the activated 2-benzoyl-5- chlorothiophene to t-butylphenol treated with potassium carbonate.
The Social/Cultural Economy of Community Music: Realizing Spectacle (2008)

In this paper I think through the problems and contradictions embedded in community music engagements in post capitalistic society. I consider the possibility that even as community music seeks to afford spaces so that musical engagements and practices remain diverse and multiple, this diversity may be serving the hegemonic unity of capitalism and may, in some cases be reproducing the systems of inequity community music specifically wishes to challenge.

Combining Curcumin (Diferuloylmethane) and Heat Shock Protein Inhibition for Neurofibromatosis 2 Treatment: Analysis of Response and Resistance Pathways (2011)

Neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2) is a genetic condition characterized by inactivation of the NF2 tumor suppressor gene and the development of schwannomas. The NF2 gene product, merlin, is activated (dephosphorylated) by contact inhibition and promotes growth suppression. We investigated the effect of curcumin (diferuloylmethane), a molecule with anti-inflammatory and antitumorigenic properties, on human schwannoma cell growth and the regulation of merlin by curcumin in both NF2 cells and neuroblastoma (non-NF2) cells. Curcumin inhibited the growth of HEI-193 schwannoma cells in vitro and downregulated the phosphorylation of Akt and extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2. Curcumin also activated MYPT1-pp1δ (a merlin phosphatase), which was associated with dephosphorylation of merlin on serine 518, an event that results in the folding of merlin to its active conformation. In addition, curcumin induced apoptosis and generated reactive oxygen species in HEI-193 cells. Consequently, hsp70 was upregulated at the mRNA and protein levels, possibly serving as a mechanism of escape from curcumin-induced apoptosis and growth inhibition. Endogenous merlin and hsp70 proteins interacted in HEI-193 schwannoma and SK-N-AS neuroblastoma cells. The combination of curcumin and an hsp inhibitor synergistically suppressed schwannoma cell growth. Our results provide a rationale for combining curcumin and KNK437 in the treatment of NF2.

Aging Theories of Primary Osteoarthritis: From Epidemiology to Molecular Biology (2004)

Osteoarthritis is the most common disabling condition of humans in the western world. It has been known for a very long time that aging is the most prominent risk factor for the initiation and progression of the disease, but the explanations for this phenomenon have changed over time. The most longstanding theory is that osteoarthritis develops because of continuous mechanical wear and tear. However, osteoarthritis can also be the result of time/age-related modifications to cartilage matrix components. One of the simplest biological explanations for the initiation and progression of osteoarthritic cartilage degeneration is a mere loss of viable cells, due to apoptosis or other mechanisms. Overall, the most likely scenario is that the cells and the matrix of articular cartilage get older over time, and eventually the tissue enters a senescence-like state that makes it more prone to enter the osteoarthritic degeneration pathway. Thus, patients with osteoarthritis might progress more quickly to the senescence phenotype compared to others. Moreover, stressful conditions associated with the osteoarthritic disease process might further promote chondrocyte senescence. Primary osteoarthritis in this model would be a "premature" degeneration of the joint due to a premature chondrocyte senescence. By analogy to neurodegenerative disorders, one could refer to osteoarthritis as the "M. Alzheimer" of articular cartilage. One of the most important implications of this hypothesis is that it points to issues of cellular degeneration as the basis for understanding the initiation and progression of osteoarthritis. Equally important, it emphasizes that whatever treatment we envisage for osteoarthritis, we must take into account that we are dealing with aged/(pre)senescent cells that no longer have the ability of their juvenile counterparts to counteract the many mechanical, inflammatory, and/or other assaults to the tissue.
Gene Expression Studies in Major Depression (2010)

The dramatic technical advances in methods to measure gene expression on a genome-wide level thus far have not been paralleled by breakthrough discoveries in psychiatric disorders-including major depression (MD)-using these hypothesis-free approaches. In this review, we first describe the methodologic advances made in gene expression analysis, from quantitative polymerase chain reaction to next-generation sequencing. We then discuss issues in gene expression experiments specific to MD, ranging from the choice of target tissues to the characterization of the case group. We provide a synopsis of the gene expression studies published thus far for MD, with a focus on studies using mRNA microarray methods. Finally, we discuss possible new strategies for the gene expression studies in MD that circumvent some of the addressed issues.
Immunocapture Polymerase Chain Reaction for the Detection and Characterization of Cacao Swollen Shoot Virus 1 A Isolates (1997)

Abstract Oligonucleotides derived from the flanking regions of the putative coat protein gene of the cacao swollen shoot badnavirus isolate I A (CSSV‐1 A) were able to prime the synthesis of specific products directly from extracts from CSSV‐IA‐infected leaves by immunocapture polymerase chain reaction (IC‐PCR), following trapping of virions with polyclonal antibodies to CSSV‐1 A. CSSV isolates serologically distinct from CSSV‐I A were not detected by IC‐PCR when the CSSV‐I A‐derived primers were used following trapping with homologous antisera. IC‐PCR was at least 100‐fold more sensitive than double antibody sandwich (DAS)‐ELISA in comparative tests on samples from greenhouse‐grown cacao plants. The superior sensitivity of IC‐PCR over DAS‐ELISA was confirmed in attempts to detect and identify CSSV‐I A isolates in field samples and permitted detection of CSSV‐I A isolates even in symptomless leaves from plants showing stem swelling only. The IC‐PCR products obtained from four randomly selected field samples were sequenced and shown to contain a region of the CSSV‐I A genome where ORF X overlaps ORF 3. Analysis of the partial amino acid sequences deduced from ORF 3 and ORF X of the four field isolates revealed a considerable variation in these CSSV‐I A gene products.
Effects of combined deferiprone with deferoxamine on right ventricular function in thalassaemia major (2012)

In the RCT of mild to moderate cardiac iron loading, combination treatment improved RV function significantly more than deferoxamine alone. Combination treatment also improved RV function in severe cardiac siderosis. Therefore adding deferiprone to deferoxamine has beneficial effects on both RV and LV function in TM patients with cardiac siderosis.

Thyroiditis: differential diagnosis and management. (2000)

Thyroiditis is a group of inflammatory thyroid disorders. Patients with chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis (also referred to as Hashimoto's thyroiditis) present with hypothyroidism, goiter, or both. Measurement of serum thyroid autoantibodies and thyroglobulin confirms the diagnosis. Subacute granulomatous thyroiditis (sometimes referred to as de Quervain's disease) is a self-limited but painful disorder of the thyroid. Physical examination, elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate, elevated thyroglobulin level and depressed radioactive iodine uptake (RAIU) confirm the diagnosis. Subacute lymphocytic thyroiditis (silent thyroiditis) is considered autoimmune in origin and commonly occurs in the postpartum period. Symptoms of hyperthyroidism and depressed RAIU predominate. Acute (suppurative) thyroiditis is a rare, infectious thyroid disorder caused by bacteria and other microbes. The rare, invasive fibrous thyroiditis (Riedel's thyroiditis) presents with a slowly enlarging anterior neck mass that is sometimes confused with a malignancy.
