Colorectal cancer in inflammatory bowel disease: What is the real magnitude of the risk? (2012)

The association between inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and colorectal cancer (CRC) has been recognised since 1925 and still accounts for 10%-15% of deaths in IBD. IBD-associated CRC (IBD-CRC) affects patients at a younger age than sporadic CRC. The prognosis for sporadic CRC and IBD-CRC is similar, with a 5-year survival of approximately 50%. Identifying at risk patients and implementing appropriate surveillance for these patients is central to managing the CRC risk in IBD. The increased risk of colorectal cancer in association with IBD is thought to be due to genetic and acquired factors. The link between inflammation and cancer is well recognised but the molecular biology, immune pathobiology and genetics of IBD-CRC are areas of much ongoing research. This review examines the literature relating to IBD-CRC, focusing on the incidence of IBD-CRC and examining potential risk factors including age at diagnosis, gender, duration and extent of colitis, severity of inflammation, family history of sporadic CRC and co-existent primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC). Confirmed risk factors for IBD-CRC are duration, severity and extent of colitis, the presence of co-existent PSC and a family history of CRC. There is insufficient evidence currently to support an increased frequency of surveillance for patients diagnosed with IBD at a younger age. Evidence-based guidelines advise surveillance colonoscopy for patients with colitis 8 to 10 years after diagnosis, with the interval for further surveillance guided by risk factors (extent of disease, family history of CRC, post-inflammatory polyps, concomitant PSC, personal history of colonic dysplasia, colonic strictures). There is a move away from using random colonic biopsies towards targeted biopsies aimed at abnormal areas identified by newer colonoscopic techniques (narrow band imaging, chromoendoscopy, confocal microendoscopy).
Recent alloy developments and manufacturing challenges for CRA tubulars (1996)

Over the past 15 years, the use of corrosion-resistant alloy (CRA) tubulars for sour gas production applications has increased dramatically. Basically, the CRA`s are martensitic 13 Cr, the iron-based duplex steels, austinitic stainless steels, stainless steels, and higher nickel-based alloys. The paper describes seveal important concepts and trends that have developed over the past three years. Application challenges include raw seawater injection wells and more reliable flow and transmission lines. The paper ends with a discussion of the challenges that must be met for manufacturers.
Design of a novel high-efficiency UHF RFID antenna on flexible LCP substrate with high read-range capability (2006)

In this paper, the design and development of a unique high read-range high-efficiency (95%) radio frequency identification (RFID) antenna for the 915 MHz UHF band is discussed. The RFID exceptional characteristics are investigated in terms of antenna-IC matching and radiation efficiency. This 915 MHz passive tag is a 3" /spl times/ 3" omnidirectional tag and yielded a read range of 31 feet compared to a 4" /spl times/ 4" leading commercial design of 26 feet tested range in lab. This tag also possesses higher read power range (-7 dBm to 30 dBm) than the leading commercial design (-5 dBm to 30 dBm). The proposed RFID antenna was fabricated on 50.8 micron thick liquid crystal polymer (LCP) and the read range of the proposed RFID tags was experimentally verified.
CCL3/MIP-1 <i>α</i> Is a Potent Immunostimulator When Coexpressed with Interleukin-2 or Granulocyte-Macrophage Colony-Stimulating Factor in a Leukemia/Lymphoma Vaccine (2004)

Chemokines orchestrate trafficking of immune effector cells during inflammation. Here we demonstrate that chemokines also serve to potentiate effector cell-mediated antineoplastic immune responses in vaccination strategies. As a critical mediator of inflammation, macrophage inflammatory protein 1alpha (CCL3/MIP-1alpha) attracts and stimulates both antigen-presenting and cytotoxic cells. In the A20 leukemia/lymphoma vaccine model, we explored the efficacy of MIP-1alpha in combination with interleukin-2 (IL-2) or granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF). After subcutaneous injection of the MIP-1alpha + IL-2 or MIP-1alpha + GM-CSF combination vaccine, focal but pronounced infiltrates of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells were observed at the vaccination sites. In mice with preestablished leukemia/lymphoma, survival is significantly improved in animals treated with MIP-1alpha + GM-CSF- and MIP-1alpha + IL-2-secreting vaccines. Protection is superior in the MIP-1alpha + GM-CSF group, with the effects of MIP-1alpha and GM-CSF being synergistic. In contrast, suppression of lymphoblast proliferation by single-immunogen vaccines secreting MIP-1alpha, GM-CSF, or IL-2 alone does not translate to improved survival. The systemic protective effects afforded by the MIP-1alpha + IL-2 or MIP-1alpha + GM-CSF combination are mediated by different effector cell populations. In the MIP-1alpha + IL-2 group, antineoplastic defense is mediated by CD8+ T and NK cells, whereas in the MIP-1alpha + GM-CSF group CD4+ T cells are involved in addition to CD8+ cytotoxic T cells, underscoring that T cell help is critical for long-term protection. Thus combination of MIP-1alpha with different cytokines recruits different sets of effector cells into a potent antineoplastic immune response.
Xylitol: a potential alterative pharmaceutical excipient in the production of pharmaceutical tablets (2016)

Xylitol: a potential alterative pharmaceutical excipient in the production of pharmaceutical tabletsAn excipient is an inactive material that aids as the vehicle for a drug and gives suitable consistency or form to the pharmaceutical product.Xylitol, a naturally occurring material that can be found in food sources such as berries, mushrooms, lettuce and corn, is an attractive excipient for oral drug delivery because it can be safely consumed by non-insulin dependent diabetics as well as the obese and it may play a role in weight reduction.Xylitol can produce a pleasant cooling effect in the mouth, which is highly effective to mask the unpleasant flavours associated with some drugs.However, xylitol has poor compactibility and compressibility that make it unsuitable for tableting.This study employed antisolvent crystallization technique to improve the compactibility and the pharmaceutical performance of xylitol by improving its physicomechanical properties to make it better suited for tableting using direct compression.The use of engineered xylitol can be recommended for future use by formulators in the pharmaceutical industry towards direct compression of tablets with improved physical, mechanical and biopharmaceutical behaviour.
DualGAN: Unsupervised Dual Learning for Image-to-Image Translation (2017)

Conditional Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) for cross-domain image-to-image translation have made much progress recently. Depending on the task complexity, thousands to millions of labeled image pairs are needed to train a conditional GAN. However, human labeling is expensive, even impractical, and large quantities of data may not always be available. Inspired by dual learning from natural language translation, we develop a novel dual-GAN mechanism, which enables image translators to be trained from two sets of unlabeled images from two domains. In our architecture, the primal GAN learns to translate images from domain U to those in domain V, while the dual GAN learns to invert the task. The closed loop made by the primal and dual tasks allows images from either domain to be translated and then reconstructed. Hence a loss function that accounts for the reconstruction error of images can be used to train the translators. Experiments on multiple image translation tasks with unlabeled data show considerable performance gain of DualGAN over a single GAN. For some tasks, DualGAN can even achieve comparable or slightly better results than conditional GAN trained on fully labeled data.
Functionalization and Characterization of Bioactive Films Based on HPMC: Influence of Antioxidants Inclusion on Films Properties and Food Preservation (2012)

La fonctionnalisation d'emballages biodégradables avec des antioxydants naturels est l'une des techniques prometteuses pour améliorer la conservation des aliments, diminuer la quantité de conservateurs chimiques utilises, protéger la dégradation aromatique des produits et ainsi conserver une meilleure qualité globale. Le contrôle du relargage de ces composés actifs de l'emballage vers l'aliment permet d'étendre l'efficacité de la fonctionnalisation en libérant progressivement les antioxydants à la surface de l'aliment. L'objectif global de ce travail était de fonctionnaliser le polymère HPMC afin de produire un film d'emballage coloré à activité antioxydante et d'évaluer son aptitude à servir d'emballage actif. Tout d'abord, des films d'HPMC contenant différents colorants synthétiques comme le bleu, le vert, le jaune, le rouge et le blanc ont été testés afin de déterminer la couleur la plus adaptée pour le contrôle de la photo-oxydation de produits gras. Ensuite, la couleur rouge synthétique, montrant un maximum de contrôle contre la photo-oxydation, a été remplacée par des composés actifs naturels de même couleur. Ces composés provenaient soit d'un mélange d'extraits de betterave et de carottes pourpres, d'un mélange de bétalaïnes soit d'un mélange d'anthocyanes. Le mode d'incorporation de ces composés actifs dans la matrice d'HPMC, leurs effets sur les propriétés thermiques, mécaniques, barrière et structurales des films ont été étudiés. Les résultats ont montré que l'intégration de ces différents composés actifs naturels a permis d'améliorer les propriétés des films. Les composés actifs utilisés ont la capacité de contrôler le photo-vieillissement de la matrice polymérique et que l'HPMC est un bon candidat pour incorporer ces molécules et permettre le contrôle de la dégradation de produits alimentaires riches en lipides
Oral Soft Tissue Wound Healing After Laser Surgery With or Without a Pool of Amino Acids and Sodium Hyaluronate: A Randomized Clinical Study (2013)

The use of a gel containing amino acids and sodium hyaluronate can promote faster healing via secondary intention in laser-induced wounds, although it does not seem to affect pain perception.
Intestinal Barrier Disturbances in Haemodialysis Patients: Mechanisms, Consequences, and Therapeutic Options (2017)

There is accumulating evidence that the intestinal barrier and the microbiota may play a role in the systemic inflammation present in HD patients. HD patients are subject to a number of unique factors, some related to the HD process and others simply to the uraemic milieu but with common characteristic that they can both alter the intestinal barrier and the microbiota. This review is intended to provide an overview of the current methods for measuring such changes in HD patients, the mechanisms behind these changes, and potential strategies that may mitigate these modifications. Lastly, intradialytic exercise is an increasingly employed intervention in HD patients; however the potential implications that this may have for the intestinal barrier are not known; therefore future research directions are also covered.
Kernel Foveated Rendering (2018)

Foveated rendering coupled with eye-tracking has the potential to dramatically accelerate interactive 3D graphics with minimal loss of perceptual detail. In this paper, we parameterize foveated rendering by embedding polynomial kernel functions in the classic log-polar mapping. Our GPU-driven technique uses closed-form, parameterized foveation that mimics the distribution of photoreceptors in the human retina. We present a simple two-pass kernel foveated rendering (KFR) pipeline that maps well onto modern GPUs. In the first pass, we compute the kernel log-polar transformation and render to a reduced-resolution buffer. In the second pass, we carry out the inverse-log-polar transformation with anti-aliasing to map the reduced-resolution rendering to the full-resolution screen. We have carried out pilot and formal user studies to empirically identify the KFR parameters. We observe a 2.8X -- 3.2X speedup in rendering on 4K UHD (2160p) displays with minimal perceptual loss of detail. The relevance of eye-tracking-guided kernel foveated rendering can only increase as the anticipated rise of display resolution makes it ever more difficult to resolve the mutually conflicting goals of interactive rendering and perceptual realism.
El calentamiento global (2006)

Active participation in physical activity by older people is effective in improving their health. This research aims to examine the positive effects of participation in vigorous outdoor physical activities by older Chinese people in Hong Kong, and whether such effects would vary with socioeconomic background. A quasi-experimental, nonequivalent group design was used. A total of 22 participants were randomly assigned to participate in an outdoor physical activity program. Another 14 participants took part as a control group. The 14-item Self-Image of Aging Scale for Chinese Elders and the four-item self-report Subjective Happiness Scale were used to measure participants' self-image and overall happiness level. All participants completed the assessment before and after the program. Happiness level was enhanced in participants in the experimental group (<i>p</i> = 0.037) and their level of overall mental health also improved (<i>p</i> = 0.031, η<sup>2</sup><i>p</i> = 0.129). Demographics did not have any significant effect on well-being outcomes. A structured outdoor physical activity program could be a viable choice for future practice to enhance the mental well-being of older Chinese people.
A four-quadrant subthreshold mode multiplier for analog neural-network applications (1996)

A new four-quadrant CMOS analog multiplier is presented, based on devices operating in the subthreshold mode of conduction. The proposed circuit is a cross-coupled quad structure in which differential multiplication is obtained by driving the gate and bulk (back gate) terminals of the devices. Analysis and simulation have shown that the new structure has the characteristics required for the design of very large scale integration (VLSI) analog neural networks. Although operating at subthreshold current levels, reasonable speed can be obtained since voltage swings are in the range of a few V(t). The behavior of the basic multiplier has been assessed experimentally using transistor-arrays and simulation studies on a network including 11 neurons and 31 synapses indicate a useful level of functionality.
Modeling stress retarded self-limiting oxidation of suspended silicon nanowires for the development of silicon nanowire-based nanodevices (2011)

In this paper, we present a model for the oxidation of silicon nanowires (NWs) based on a modification of the cylindrical Deal and Grove equation and taking into account stress effects associated with non-uniform deformation of the oxide by viscous flow. The validity of this model has been tested on a set of experimental results describing the thermal oxidation of suspended silicon NWs. The NWs oxidation is examined upon different atmospheres (pure O2 and H2O) and at different thermal budgets by scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy measurements. The good agreement between the experimental results and the simulations confirm the validity of the key model assumptions: the SiO2 flow can be approximated as purely viscous and the non-linear effects of shear stress on oxide viscosity [S. M. Hu, J. Appl. Phys. 64, 323 (1988)] can be neglected. In addition, the model gives some interesting insight about the physics of the oxidation process. In particular, we demonstrate that the compressive stress at the Si/SiO2 interfaces is the main parameter controlling the experimentally observed self-limitation of the oxidation rate for long oxidation times. Finally, it will be shown that thermal oxidation can be used to not only to decrease the core diameter and round off the nanostructures but also to reduce the size dispersion of a nanowire assembly and that our predictive model can be employed to optimize this process.
GROWTH OF <i>LISTERIA MONOCYTOGENES</i> IN DEFINED MEDIA (1961)

Friedman, Mischa E. (U. S. Army Chemical Corps, Fort Detrick, Frederick, Md.), and William G. Roessler. Growth of Listeria monocytogenes in defined media. J. Bacteriol. 82:528-533. 1961-Listeria monocytogenes, strains A4413, JHH, and 9037-7, require organic sulfur, valine, and isoleucine for growth. In addition, A4413 requires leucine, whereas 9037-7 requires leucine, histidine, and arginine. Glutamine is stimulatory for all three strains. Further, A4413 is stimulated also by histidine, arginine, and methionine, and JHH by histidine, arginine, and leucine. With A4413, glutamine can be replaced by inorganic ammonium salts, urea, or asparagine but not by glutamic acid. Growth inhibition by d-serine is reversed by glycine or alanine. Growth with agitation in defined media is very poor and subculture is not possible unless unidentified products of enzymatic hydrolysis of proteins are present.A requirement for lipoic acid was not observed with five strains of L. monocytogenes.
Discovering common motifs in cursor movement data for improving web search (2014)

Web search behavior and interaction data, such as mouse cursor movements, can provide valuable information on how searchers examine and engage with the web search results. This interaction data is far richer than traditional search click data, and can be used to improve search ranking, evaluation, and presentation. Unfortunately, the diversity and complexity inherent in this interaction data make it more difficult to capture salient behavior characteristics through traditional feature engineering. To address this problem, we introduce a novel approach of automatically discovering frequent subsequences, or motifs, in mouse cursor movement data. In order to scale our approach to realistic datasets, we introduce novel optimizations for motif discovery, specifically designed for mining cursor movement data. As a practical application, we show that by encoding the motifs discovered from thousands of real web search sessions as features, enables significant improvements on result relevance estimation and re-ranking tasks, compared to a state-of-the-art baseline that relies on extensive feature engineering. These results, complemented with visualization and qualitative analysis, demonstrate that our approach is able to automatically capture key characteristics of mouse cursor movement behavior, providing a valuable new tool for search behavior analysis.
Performance analysis of semi-blind channel estimation using superimposed training (2005)

Channel estimation for single-input multiple-output (SIMO) time-invariant channels is considered using superimposed training. A periodic (non-random) training sequence is arithmetically added (superimposed) at a low power to the information sequence at the transmitter before modulation and transmission. Recently in Meng and Tugnait (2004), an iterative scheme for joint channel estimation and data detection was presented and illustrated via simulation examples, without any analytical performance analysis. In this paper we present a performance analysis of this iterative channel estimation method. An illustrative simulation example is also provided.
