Brachypodium distachyon promoters as efficient building blocks for transgenic research in maize (2012)

The biotechnological approach to improve performance or yield of crops or for engineering metabolic pathways requires the expression of a number of transgenes, each with a specific promoter to avoid induction of silencing mechanisms. In maize (Zea mays), used as a model for cereals, an efficient Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation system has been established that is applied for translational research. In the current transformation vectors, the promoters of the 35S gene of the cauliflower mosaic virus and of the ubiquitin gene of maize are often used to drive the bialaphos-selectable marker and the transgene, respectively. To expand the number of promoters, genes with either constitutive or seed-specific expression were selected in Brachypodium distachyon, a model grass distantly related to maize. After the corresponding Brachypodium promoters had been fused to the β-glucuronidase reporter gene, their activity was followed throughout maize development and quantified in a fluorimetric assay with the 4-methylumbelliferyl β-D-glucuronide substrate. The promoters pBdEF1α and pBdUBI10 were constitutively and highly active in maize, whereas pBdGLU1 was clearly endosperm-specific, hence, expanding the toolbox for transgene analysis in maize. The data indicate that Brachypodium is an excellent resource for promoters for transgenic research in heterologous cereal species.

Critical review of oral drug treatments for diabetic neuropathic pain—clinical outcomes based on efficacy and safety data from placebo‐controlled and direct comparative studies (2005)

The present review aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a selection of oral treatments for the management of painful diabetic neuropathy. A literature review was conducted retrieving placebo-controlled and direct comparative studies with a selection of oral treatments for painful diabetic neuropathy. All studies were analyzed with regard to efficacy and tolerability. Efficacy was evaluated as the percentage improvement in pain intensity between baseline and endpoint. Tolerability was evaluated by means of study discontinuations due to adverse events and by incidence of drug-related adverse events. The analyzed trials enrolled different patient populations with mostly small numbers of patients. The great variability in dosages and dose titration schemes, cross-over designs with variable wash-out periods, and other design schemes made comparison between the different studies difficult. Gabapentin, lamotrigine, tramadol, oxycodone, mexiletine, and acetyl-L-carnitine were the only treatments studied in large (at least 100 patients), placebo-controlled parallel group trials.It is concluded that standardization in design and reporting for comparison of treatments is needed. Validated questionnaires for evaluation of the efficacy and safety should be further developed. Based on the reviewed randomised controlled trials, gabapentin shows good efficacy, a favourable side-effect profile with lack of drug interactions and therefore it may be a first choice treatment in painful diabetic neuropathy, especially in the elderly. However, head to head trials of current treatments are lacking and therefore randomized controlled trials are required to address this issue.
RBF Prediction Model Based on EMD for Forecasting GPS Precipitable Water Vapor and Annual Precipitation (2013)

The forecast of precipitations is important in meteorology and atmospheric sciences. A new model is proposed based on empirical mode decomposition and the RBF neural network. Firstly, GPS PWV time series is broken down into series of different scales intrinsic mode function. Secondly, the phase space reconstruction is done. Thirdly, each component is predicted by RBF. Finally, the final prediction value is reconstructed. Next, the model is tested on annual precipitation sequence from 2001 to 2010 in northeast China. The result shows that predictive value is close to the actual precipitation, which can better reflect the actual precipitation change. From 2001 to 2010, the maximum deviation of the predicted values never exceeds 4%. The testing results show that the proposed model can increase precipitation forecasting accuracies not only in GPS PWV but also in annual precipitation.
Veterans With Diabetes Receive Arthroplasty More Frequently and at a Younger Age (2013)

If these findings hold true for the population as a whole, they imply that clinicians in the United States may see a sharp increase in younger diabetic candidates for joint arthroplasty.
Electrocardiogram Changes and Therapeutic Desipramine and 2-Hydroxy-Desipramine Concentrations in Elderly Depressives (1986)

ECG parameters in elderly depressed in-patients were assessed during routine desipramine treatment. Significant changes (prolonged PR and PRS intervals and a decreased QTc interval) were found, related only to steady state concentrations of desipramine's major metabolite--2-hydroxy-desipramine. Potentially clinically significant changes developed in 40% of the patients. All serum drug concentrations were within therapeutic limits. Previous assurances about desipramines's cardiac safety in the elderly may need to be re-evaluated.
<title>Research on frame capture of high speed and image storage</title> (2007)

Conflicts among high speed, large amount of data rate and long time to record are still problems in the field of frame grabbing. It has been settled partly and temporarily by the development of raid technology. A frame grabbing system with the characteristic of high speed and large storage is generated using raid technology and Fibre Channels. It is able to keep recording frames at a high speed for a long time without reducing resolution. The system has been set up successfully whose recording and displaying process can be generally controlled. Problems that show stable live video in real time while recording have been solved. The composition of hardware in this system is given out in the paper. The principle how it works is described. For the purpose of recording at a high speed without dropping frames and to insure the imaging quality while synchronized with outer signals that generated from an outer circuit, several synchronizing ways are discussed and compared. The most suitable way is chosen through analyzing theoretically and tested out by experiment.
Insulin-like growth factor-I reverts testicular atrophy in rats with advanced cirrhosis (2000)

The pathogenesis of hypogonadism in cirrhosis is not completely understood. The levels of insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I), an anabolic factor with trophic actions on testes, are reduced in cirrhosis. This study was undertaken to evaluate whether rats with advanced cirrhosis develop hypogonadism and whether the administration of IGF-I exerts beneficial effects on testicular structure and function. Wistar rats with ascitic cirrhosis induced with CCl(4) were allocated into 2 groups (n = 10, each) to receive recombinant IGF-I (20 microg x kg(-1) x d(-1), subcutaneously) or vehicle for 3 weeks. Healthy rats receiving vehicle were used as the control group (n = 10). At baseline, both cirrhotic groups showed similar deterioration of liver function tests. Compared with controls, nontreated cirrhotic rats showed decreased serum levels of IGF-I (P <.05), reduced testicular size and weight (P <.001), and intense histopathological testicular abnormalities, including reduced tubular diameters (P <.001), loss of the germinal line (P <. 001), and diminutions in cellular proliferation, spermatogenesis (P <.001), and testicular transferrin expression (P <.001). In addition, low serum testosterone (P <.01) and high serum LH (P <.01) were present in untreated cirrhotic animals. Cirrhotic rats that received IGF-I showed full recovery of testicular size and weight and of all histopathological abnormalities (P <.001 to <.01 vs. nontreated cirrhotic rats; P = ns vs. controls). Serum levels of sex hormones tended to normalize. In conclusion, IGF-I deficiency may play a pathogenetic role in hypogonadism of cirrhosis. Low doses of IGF-I for a short period of time revert testicular atrophy and appear to improve hypogonadism in advanced experimental cirrhosis.
Chlamydiaceae infections in pig (2011)

Chlamydiaceae are Gram-negative obligate intracellular bacteria. They are responsible for a broad range of diseases in animals and humans. In pigs, Chlamydia suis, Chlamydia abortus, Chlamydia pecorum and Chlamydia psittaci have been isolated. Chlamydiaceae infections in pigs are associated with different pathologies such as conjunctivitis, pneumonia, pericarditis, polyarthritis, polyserositis, pseudo-membranous or necrotizing enteritis, periparturient dysgalactiae syndrome, vaginal discharge, return to oestrus, abortion, mummification, delivery of weak piglets, increased perinatal and neonatal mortality and inferior semen quality, orchitis, epididymitis and urethritis in boars. However, Chlamydiaceae are still considered as non-important pathogens because reports of porcine chlamydiosis are rare. Furthermore, Chlamydiaceae infections are often unnoticed because tests for Chlamydiaceae are not routinely performed in all veterinary diagnostic laboratories and Chlamydiaceae are often found in association with other pathogens, which are sometimes more easily to detect. However, recent studies have demonstrated that Chlamydiaceae infections in breeding sows, boars and piglets occur more often than thought and are economically important. This paper presents an overview on: the taxonomy of Chlamydiaceae occurring in pigs, diagnostic considerations, epidemiology and pathology of infections with Chlamydiaceae in pigs, public health significance and finally on prevention and treatment of Chlamydiaceae infections in pigs.

Telemonitoring of Medication Adherence in Patients with Schizophrenia (2005)

Nonadherence to medication is a widespread problem in schizophrenia and is associated with poor clinical outcomes and inappropriate management and utilization of resources. The aim of the current investigation was to assess the impact of telemonitoring of medication adherence on symptomatology and service use in patients with schizophrenia. A total of 108 schizophrenia patients were randomized into three equal groups according to the approaches used to assess medication adherence; self-report, pill counting, and telemonitoring. Telementoring was achieved through an innovative new platform called @HOME. This platform offers clinicians early warnings about impeding nonadherence as well as information about the pattern of medication taking. Patient's adherence was observed over an 8-week period, during which patient's clinical status and service use were recorded. In comparison to the other two groups, patients using @HOME showed improvement in the Global Clinical Impression Scale and a significant reduction in emergency visits and medical appointments. The @HOME platform was highly acceptable by patients, caregivers, and professionals, and required minimal training for implementation. The results of the study suggest that the use of telemonitoring in psychiatric settings was both feasible and acceptable and may be associated with significant clinical and service related benefits.

Controlling drop bouncing using surfaces with gradient features (2015)

Drop hitting on superhydrophobic surfaces usually undergoes spreading and retraction stages before its complete rebound and there exists a minimum amount of time for the spreading and retraction processes. Impressively, it was recently shown that the so-called contact time can be significantly reduced by engineering surfaces with millimeter-scale tapered post arrays that allow the impinging drop to leave the surfaces in a pancake shape at the end of lateral spreading (pancake bouncing). Despite exciting progress, it remains elusive to rationally control the contact time and quantitatively predict the critical Weber number for the occurrence of pancake bouncing. Here, we experimentally demonstrated that the drop bouncing is intricately modulated by the surface morphology. Under the same centre-to-centre post spacing, surfaces with a larger apex angle could give rise to more robust pancake bouncing, which is characterized by significant contact time reduction, smaller critical Weber number, and wider Weber number range. We also developed simple harmonic spring models and theoretically revealed the dependence of timescales associated with the impinging drop and the critical Weber number for pancake bouncing on the surface morphology. The insights learned from this work will allow us to rationally design various surfaces for many practical applications.

Integrating audiovisual information for the control of overt attention (2007)

In everyday life, our brains decide about the relevance of huge amounts of sensory input. Further complicating this situation, this input is distributed over different modalities. This raises the question of how different sources of information interact for the control of overt attention during free exploration of the environment under natural conditions. Different modalities may work independently or interact to determine the consequent overt behavior. To answer this question, we presented natural images and lateralized natural sounds in a variety of conditions and we measured the eye movements of human subjects. We show that, in multimodal conditions, fixation probabilities increase on the side of the image where the sound originates showing that, at a coarser scale, lateralized auditory stimulation topographically increases the salience of the visual field. However, this shift of attention is specific because the probability of fixation of a given location on the side of the sound scales with the saliency of the visual stimulus, meaning that the selection of fixation points during multimodal conditions is dependent on the saliencies of both auditory and visual stimuli. Further analysis shows that a linear combination of both unimodal saliencies provides a good model for this integration process, which is optimal according to information-theoretical criteria. Our results support a functional joint saliency map, which integrates different unimodal saliencies before any decision is taken about the subsequent fixation point. These results provide guidelines for the performance and architecture of any model of overt attention that deals with more than one modality.
Effect of Aprotinin on Insulin Sensitivity in Non-insulin-dependent Diabetes Mellitus (1996)

It has been suggested that kallikrein-kinin system may influence carbohydrate metabolism via a kinin-mediated increment of insulin-mediated glucose uptake. To evaluate the effect of acute inhibition of the kallikrein-kinin system on insulin sensitivity, a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind study was performed in 15 male non-insulin-dependent diabetic patients. After basal evaluation of insulin sensitivity with a 2-h euglycaemic hyperinsulinaemic clamp (40 mU m-2 min-1), patients were infused either with aprotinin (200,000 U.I.C. as intravenous bolus injection) or placebo (10 ml isotonic saline) in a cross-over fashion, at 1 week intervals. After both saline and aprotinin infusions, insulin sensitivity was reassessed by continuing the euglycaemic hyperinsulinaemic clamp for a further 1 h. Resulting data showed that aprotinin significantly improved total glucose uptake (from 16.2 +/- 2.9 mumol kg min-1 to 20.6 +/- 4.9 mumol kg min-1 p < 0.01), and decreased metabolic clearance rate of insulin (from 586 +/- 57 ml m-2 min-1 to 442 +/- 155 ml m-2 min-1, p < 0.05). Thus, in spite of the suggested positive effects of kinins on insulin-mediated glucose uptake, acute inhibition of the kallikrein-kinins system resulted in a paradoxical increment of insulin sensitivity, which was probably mediated by the reduced metabolic clearance rate of insulin.
Rapid restriction map constructions using a modified pWE15 cosmid vector and a robotic workstation. (1991)

This paper describes a number of techniques for rapid restriction mapping of cosmid clones. First, we have replaced the cloning site of cosmid vector pWE15 with a polylinker containing 15 infrequently cleaved restriction enzyme sites that are placed asymmetrically on each side of the BamHI cloning site. DNA cloned into this vector can be fully recovered by using several pairs of restriction enzymes. Second, we have designed a simple electrical circuit device that allows the performance of asymmetric voltage gradient field inversion gel electrophoresis (AFIGE) to improve the resolution of DNA molecules in the range of 20-50 kbp. AFIGE can be obtained by simply placing the device in between a commercially available switching unit and the gel box in a standard field inversion system. Finally, the restriction digestion procedure has been automated by using a Beckman Biomek 1000 robotic workstation. Using this automated system, 96 restriction reactions, including gel loading, can be performed in less than two hours. In summary, these methods represent at least a tenfold improvement in the speed and/or mapping data that can be obtained in a single gel.

Stabilisation of a modelocked Er-doped fibre laserby suppressing the relaxation oscillation frequency component (1995)

A novel method is reported for stabilising an actively modelocked Er-doped fibre laser by controlling its cavity length to suppress the relaxation oscillation RF power of the laser output. This RF power is a good measure of laser instability. With this method, the RF power ratio between modelocking frequency and background noise is kept to more than 70 dB, and stable bit-error-free operation at 6.3 GHz is realised for over 6 h.
