Structure-activity relationship study of CXCR4 antagonists bearing the cyclic pentapeptide scaffold: identification of the new pharmacophore (2008)

A highly potent CXCR4 antagonist 2 [cyclo (-D-Tyr1-Arg2-Arg3-Nal4-Gly5-)] has previously been identified by screening cyclic pentapeptide libraries that were designed based on pharmacophore residues of a 14-residue peptidic CXCR4 antagonist 1. In the present study, D-Tyr and Arg in peptide 2 were replaced by a bicyclic aromatic amino acid and a cationic amino acid, respectively, and their binding activity for CXCR4 was evaluated for identification of the novel pharmacophore.
Isolation of a novel pentachlorophenol-degrading bacterium, Pseudomonas sp. Bu34 (1998)

A pentachlorophenol (PCP)-degrading bacterium was isolated from possible PCP-contaminated soil from Pusan, Korea and identified as a member of the genus Pseudomonas. It used PCP as its sole source of carbon and energy. This micro-organism was capable of degrading PCP more effectively, certified by the increase in cell density and the decrease in PCP substrate. Pseudomonas sp. Bu34 was able to degrade a much higher concentration of PCP (4000 mg l-1) than any previously reported PCP-degrading bacteria and fungi and to grow in mineral salts solution containing one of a variety of chlorophenols. In non-acclimated strain Bu34, the cell number decreased from 87 to 99.9% in 75-4000 mg l-1 PCP at 24 h. In the acclimated strain the PCP toxic effect did not appear with 75 mg l-1 PCP treatment, but 1000-4000 mg l-1 PCP decreased the cell number of strain Bu34 by 25% to 24 h and then the cell number slightly increased at 48 h. Therefore, it suggested that the maximum resistance of acclimated strain Bu34 to PCP was 4000 mg l-1 PCP. We suggest that strain Bu34 could be used as a micro-organism for the bioremediation of highly PCP-contaminated soils, water or wood products.
<title>Passive materials for high-frequency ultrasound transducers</title> (1999)

In this paper, the elastic properties of passive materials (matching, backing and lens materials) for ultrasound transducers are explored at room temperature in the frequency range of 25 - 65 MHz using the ultrasonic spectroscopy method. Alumina/EPO-TEK 301 and tungsten/EPO- TEK 301 composites were fabricated and measured. Experimental results display a monotonic rise in acoustic impedance of the composites with the addition of the particle filler. However, there was an attenuation peak occurring at about 8% volume fraction of particle filler. The acoustic impedance of the compositions was modeled. And additional passive materials were fabricated and measured. The measured results showed that materials having high attenuation also had large velocity dispersion, and low attenuation materials displayed low velocity dispersion.
Rheological Characterization of Polysaccharide−Poly(ethylene glycol) Star Copolymer Hydrogels (2005)

Binding interactions between low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) and heparin-binding peptides (HBP) have been applied as a strategy for the assembly of hydrogels that are capable of sequestering growth factors and delivering them in a controlled manner. In this work, the assembly of four-arm star poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG)-LMWH conjugate with PEG-HBP conjugates has been investigated. The interactions between LMWH and the heparin-binding regions of antithrombin III (ATIII) or the heparin interacting protein (HIP) have been characterized via heparin affinity chromatography and surface plasmon resonance (SPR); results indicate that the two peptides have slightly different affinities for heparin and LMWH, and bind LMWH with micromolar affinity. Solutions of the PEG-LMWH and of mixtures of the PEG-LMWH and PEG-HBP were characterized via both bulk rheology and laser tweezer microrheology. Interestingly, solutions of PEG-LMWH (2.5 wt % in PBS) form hydrogels in the absence of PEG-ATIII or PEG-HIP, with storage moduli, determined via bulk rheological measurements, in excess of the loss moduli over frequencies of 0.1-100 Hz. The addition of PEG-ATIII or PEG-HIP increases the moduli in direct proportion to the number of cross-links introduced. Characterization of the hydrogels via microrheology shows the gel microstructure is composed of polymer-rich fibrillar structures surrounded by polymer-depleted buffer. Potential applications of these hydrogels are discussed.
Chronic diarrhoea after radiotherapy for gynaecological cancer: occurrence and aetiology. (1991)

The occurrence of chronic diarrhoea was evaluated in 173 consecutive patients previously treated with radiation for gynaecological cancer. A survey of gastrointestinal symptoms showed a high frequency of diarrhoea; 13% of the patients had 21 or more bowel movements a week and 3% had 28 or more. Significantly more patients who had a cholecystectomy were in the group with diarrhoea (chi 2 = 6.26; p less than 0.02). Twenty patients with chronic or intermittent diarrhoea were subject to extended gastrointestinal investigation. Bile acid malabsorption was evaluated by the 75Selenahomocholic acid-taurine test (SeHCAT). Bile acid malabsorption was found in 13 (65%) of the 20 patients further investigated, of whom seven had extremely low whole body retention values, which is consistent with severe malabsorption. The results suggest that bile acid malabsorption is a common cause of diarrhoea after radiation treatment for gynaecological cancer. Bacterial contamination was diagnosed in nine patients (45%) by the [14C]-D-xylose breath test or by the cholyl-[14C]-glycine breath test in combination with a normal test for bile acid malabsorption. All patients with vitamin B-12 deficiency, who were tested for bile acid malabsorption, had low retention times for the SeHCAT (p = 0.05). A significant decline in the frequency of diarrhoea was found after treatment with antibiotics or bile acid sequestrants, or both, in combination with a reduced fat diet.
Treatment of pancreatic cancer by radiation therapy (1984)

Abstract The role of radiation therapy in the management of pancreatic malignancy was expanded dramatically in the last decade. Development of new tumor localization and dose delivery techniques permits safe delivery of increased radiation dose to upper abdominal tumors. Interstitial implantation of radioisotopes directly into tumors has increased the local control rate for pancreatic cancer as high as 80%, but the perioperative mortality rate of this procedure is as high as 25%, except in highly controlled situations. Early data from the high linear energy transfer (LET) treatment programs suggest higher than expected complication rates, yet survival seems no better than that reported from precision high‐dose (PHD) external beam regimens. Radiation as an adjuvant to surgery has been inadequately tested, but initial reports from preoperative and postoperative trials are encouraging. Intraoperative irradiation poses theoretical advantages over external beam therapy for pancreatic cancer. Chemotherapy seems an effective adjuvant to external beam radiation therapy for pancreatic cancer. Drugs other than 5‐FU have not been adequately evaluated in adjuvant studies, nor have newer radiation treatment methods been fully evaluated in combination with drugs .
Sterilization of a Small Caliber Vascular Graft with a Polyexpoxy Compound (1992)

Sterilization of tissue based medical devices via cold sterilization processes has been limited to formaldehyde, glutaraldehyde, and mixtures of the same with alcohols and surfactants. The authors report the sterilization of a small caliber vascular graft with a combination of diglycidyl ether and ethanol. The sterilant contains 1-4% diglycidyl ether and 10-20% ethanol as an aqueous solution. Sterilization is achieved after exposure of the graft to the sterilant solution for a period of 7 days at an elevated temperature (30 degrees - 40 degrees C). The biologic indicator selected for efficacy studies was Bacillus subtilis niger ATCC 9372 (endospores). The grafts were inoculated with a concentrated endospore suspension and immersed in the sterilant solution for increasing time periods. After extensive rinsing over membrane filters to remove any residual sterilant, the grafts and filters were cultured in tryptic soy broth. D10 values were calculated using a fraction-negative, most probable number technique. Additionally, many representative bacteria and fungi were tested and found to be susceptible to the new sterilant developed. The diglycidyl ether/alcohol sterilant developed was found to be efficacious for sterilization of the tissue based vascular grafts tested.

Effects of Mouth Rinses with Xylitol and Fluoride on Dental Plaque and Saliva (1998)

The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that xylitol, alone and in combination with fluoride, affects the salivary flow rate and micro-biota, dental plaque accumulation, gingivitis development, and the acidogenic potential of plaque. Three groups, each of 10 subjects, rinsed for 1 min 3 times daily over two 4-week periods, first with 10 ml water (control), and thereafter with either 0.05% NaF, 40% xylitol, or with 0.025% NaF plus 20% xylitol according to a double-blind controlled design. They performed habitual mechanical tooth cleaning during the first 2 weeks of each period but abstained from interdental cleaning during the final 2 weeks. While mouth rinsing was continued, all mechanical oral hygiene was discontinued the last 2 days of each period to permit plaque accumulation. The last mouth rinse was administered in the clinic before the final examination. The following parameters were assessed: (1) unstimulated and paraffin-stimulated salivary secretion rates; (2) salivary micro-biota; (3) plaque index; (4) papillar bleeding; (5) plaque pH response to sucrose, and (6) lactate formation by dental plaque. No statistically significant differences in any of the parameters were found. In conclusion, three daily mouth rinses with fluoride and xylitol, separately or in combination, did not affect the salivary flow rate or micro-biota, dental plaque accumulation, gingivitis development, or the acidogenic potential of plaque.
High-power linear-beam tubes (1973)

High-power klystrons, coupled-cavity traveling-wave tubes (TWT's), and hybrid tubes, all of which utilize the microwave cavity as the basic circuit element, are described. These amplifiers are used in communications, radars, electronic countermeasures, and other applications at power levels from a few hundred watts to megawatts, at frequencies from ultrahigh frequency on up, and are particularly suited for high average powers. High gain, 30 to 60 dB, is normally achieved, and bandwidth usually lies in the 1-30-percent range. Elementary theory of operation is described, together with design considerations and systems interface information. Typical tube designs and data are presented. Recent developments are discussed, including high-efficiency techniques (to 75 percent), improvements in bandwidth, periodic focusing, and beam control electrodes. Most of the basic design techniques are well developed, and emphasis is being shifted to improvements in the detailed performance characteristics such as gain and phase resolution ripples, noise, and the sensitivities to operating voltages and currents.
Concurrent-simulation-based remote IP evaluation over the Internet for system-on-a-chip design (2002)

We propose an Internet-based concurrent-simulation scheme to ease intellectual property (IP) evaluation process between IP vendors and users. Complex system-on-a-chip (SOC) design requires more and more IP modules from third party vendors. What can be disclosed by the vendor without impairing its trade secret and what needs to be examined by the user to gain satisfactory level of confidence are contradictory of each other. Via PLI interface functions and Internet protocol, our proposed software enables HDL simulators (Verilog) residing in both the vendor and user's sites to concurrently simulate the IP and SOC together. Only stimulus and response defined in the IP's I/O are exchanged between the sites. Therefore, the vendor need not to create a functional model (or encrypted code) for the IP while the user is assured what he/she simulates is what he/she will purchase. Beside simulation speed degradation due to communication overhead, the. SOC design/debug process is exactly same as if the IP is in the user's hand. Our contribution will help all IP providers expose their IPs to all potential users without human intervention and IP right infringement concern.
The Proline 12 Alanine Substitution in the PPARγ2 Gene is Associated With Increased Extent of Coronary Artery Disease in Men (2009)

The 12Ala allele in PPARgamma2 correlates with a significantly increased CAD extent in men, which suggest that lower activity of the transcription factor PPARgamma2 is associated with more severe CAD.
One-step formation of aligned carbon nanotube field emitters at 400 °C (2003)

Fabrication of field emitters by the radio-frequency plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition of vertically aligned carbon nanotubes (CNT) on soda-lime glass is reported. CNT was produced at 400 °C by the control of the collision energy of carbonic cations to a substrate through a dc bias voltage. The CNTs produced in this work were of a cup-stacked type and had catalyst particles on the top. The CNT emitters formed by our method were integrated into triode-type microcathodes and showed field-emission properties suitable for display applications.
Poly-8-bromoadenylic Acid (1974)

Abstract The all-syn homopolynucleotide poly-8-bromoadenylic acid (poly(8BrA)) forms an ordered, helical self-structure of high stability. This is the first unprotonated adenine polynucleotide shown to have such a structure. The helix is probably double-stranded and exhibits a dependence of Tm on [Na+] similar to those of most heteroduplex structures. The new polymer fails to interact with either poly(U) or poly(BrU). The infrared spectrum of poly(8BrA) exhibits a striking 15 cm-1 splitting of the 1625 cm-1 ring vibration, not previously observed in other adenine polynucleotides. We interpret this splitting as evidence that the polymer has a regular, helical structure.
Kinetics of the homopolymerization of vinylferrocene in dioxane in the presence of 2,2′‐azobisisobutyronitrile (1975)

Abstract The kinetics of the AIBN‐initiated homopolymerization of vinylferrocene in dioxane has been investigated at 60°C. The rate of polymerization was found to be dependent on the monomer concentration to a power 0.97 and on the initiator concentration to a power 0.42. The overall activation energy for polymerization over the range 50–80°C was 84 kJ/mole. Analysis of polymer molecular weight data gave the chain transfer constant to monomer C m as 1.2 × 10 −2 and analysis of both rate and molecular weight data gave k p /( k t ) 0.5 as 2.36 × 10 −2 dm 1.5 /mole 0.5 ‐sec 0.5 . Mössbauer and ESR spectra indicated the absence of Fe(III)‐containing paramagnetic species in the polyvinylferrocene formed under these conditions.
The Isolation of a Family of Cysteine-containing Phosphoproteins from Human Submandibular-Sublingual Saliva (1982)

A family of acidic proteins has been isolated from human submandibular-sublingual saliva using Sephadex G-200 gel filtration, DE-52 cellulose chromatography, and immuno-affinity chromatography. These molecules were homogenous in size and by immunological criteria, but exhibited charge heterogeneity. The heterogeneity displayed was not due to gustatory stimulation or degradation during isolation procedures.
Low-distortion Inference of Latent Similarities from a Multiplex Social Network (2013)

Much of social network analysis is — implicitly or explicitly — predicated on the assumption that individuals tend to be more similar to their friends than to strangers. Thus, an observed social network provides a noisy signal about the latent underlying “social space:” the way in which individuals are similar or dissimilar. Many research questions frequently addressed via social network analysis are in reality questions about this social space, raising the question of inverting the process: Given a social network, how accurately can we reconstruct the social structure of similarities and dissimilarities? We begin to address this problem formally. Observed social networks are usually multiplex, in the sense that they reflect (dis)similarities in several different “categories,” such as geographical proximity, kinship, or similarity of professions/hobbies. We assume that each such category is characterized by a latent metric capturing (dis)similarities in this category. Each category gives rise to a separate social network: a random graph parameterized by this metric. For a concrete model, we consider Kleinberg's small world model and some variations thereof. The observed social network is the unlabeled union of these graphs, i.e., the presence or absence of edges can be observed, but not their origins. Our main result is a near-linear time algorithm which reconstructs each metric with provably low distortion.
The 9-1-1 DNA Clamp Is Required for Immunoglobulin Gene Conversion (2008)

Chicken DT40 cells deficient in the 9-1-1 checkpoint clamp exhibit hypersensitivity to a variety of DNA-damaging agents. Although recent work suggests that, in addition to its role in checkpoint activation, this complex may play a role in homologous recombination and translesion synthesis, the cause of this hypersensitivity has not been studied thoroughly. The immunoglobulin locus of DT40 cells allows monitoring of homologous recombination and translesion synthesis initiated by activation-induced deaminase (AID)-dependent abasic sites. We show that both the RAD9(-/-) and RAD17(-/-) mutants exhibit substantially reduced immunoglobulin gene conversion. However, the level of nontemplated immunoglobulin point mutation increased in these mutants, a finding that is reminiscent of the phenotype resulting from the loss of RAD51 paralogs or Brca2. This suggests that the 9-1-1 complex does not play a central role in translesion synthesis in this context. Despite reduced immunoglobulin gene conversion, the RAD9(-/-) and RAD17(-/-) cells do not exhibit a prominent defect in double-strand break-induced gene conversion or a sensitivity to camptothecin. This suggests that the roles of Rad9 and Rad17 may be confined to a subset of homologous recombination reactions initiated by replication-stalling lesions rather than those associated with double-strand break repair.
