Autologous chondrocyte implantation in a novel alginate-agarose hydrogel (2008)

Autologous chondrocyte implantation is an established method of treatment for symptomatic articular defects of cartilage. CARTIPATCH is a monolayer-expanded cartilage cell product which is combined with a novel hydrogel to improve cell phenotypic stability and ease of surgical handling. Our aim in this prospective, multicentre study on 17 patients was to investigate the clinical, radiological, arthroscopic and histological outcome at a minimum follow-up of two years after the implantation of autologous chondrocytes embedded in a three-dimensional alginate-agarose hydrogel for the treatment of chondral and osteochondral defects. Clinically, all the patients improved significantly. Patients with lesions larger than 3 cm(2) improved significantly more than those with smaller lesions. There was no correlation between the clinical outcome and the body mass index, age, duration of symptoms and location of the defects. The mean arthroscopic International Cartilage Repair Society score was 10 (5 to 12) of a maximum of 12. Predominantly hyaline cartilage was seen in eight of the 13 patients (62%) who had follow-up biopsies. Our findings suggest that autologous chondrocyte implantation in combination with a novel hydrogel results in a significant clinical improvement at follow-up at two years, more so for larger and deeper lesions. The surgical procedure is uncomplicated, and predominantly hyaline cartilage-like repair tissue was observed in eight patients.

Female Sex Pheromone ofChoristoneura parallela(Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) (1982)

Heptane washes of the excised ovipositors of Choristoneura parallela (Robinson) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) females were analyzed by capillary chromatography with polar and apolar liquid phases, by capillary gas-chromatography-mass spectrometry. and by microchemical degradation techniques. A mixture of four compounds was found that serves as a sex pheromone blend; ( E )-11-tetradecen-1-ol is the major component and ( Z )-11-tetradecen-1-ol, tetracadecan-1-ol, and ( E )-11-tetradecen-1-ol acetate arc minor components. Field traps baited with a mixture of these four compounds captured as many C. parallela males as traps baited with virgin females. Population-monitoring studies using the pheromone in Maryland showed that C. parallela is bivoltine.
EFFECTIVENESS OF HEME IN THE AUGMENTATION OF GONADOTROPIC EXTRACTS FROM DIFFERENT SOURCES<sup>1</sup> (1941)

SEVERAL REPORTS have been made which show the increased effectiveness of gonadotropic hormones of the anterior pituitary gland when injected with other substances which are inactive as regards the stimulation of the ovary of ths immature rat. These augmenters include tannic acid (1), copper (2), and zinc salts (3, 4, 5), yeast extract and ash from yeast (a), male urine (6), blood serum (7), leuco cytes (8), egg albumin (9), merthiolate (10) and chlorophyll (11, 12). Casida (13) reported that the formed elements of blood augment gonadotropic extracts of sheep pituitary powder and that the ash from the formed elements does not. McShan and Meyer (14) separated the hemoglobin from the blood of the cow into heme and globin, and found that the hemin was an effective augmenter when it was dissolved in dilute sodium carbonate or sodium hydroxide solution and mixed in vitro with gonadotropic extract of sheep pituitary powder.
Query expansion using the UMLS Metathesaurus. (1997)

Recent work has demonstrated the importance of query expansion for improving retrieval effectiveness when applying statistically-based systems to MEDLINE citations. The research has suggested the use of retrieval feedback for enhancing the original text of users' queries. As an alternative method of query expansion, we propose the use of the MetaMap program for associating UMLS Metathesaurus concepts with the original query. Our experiments show that query expansion based on MetaMap compares favorably with retrieval feedback. We conclude that the optimal strategy would be to combine the two techniques.
THE EFFICACY OF NEDOCROMIL SODIUM (TILADE®) IN ASTHMA (1987)

Nedocromil sodium is a new antiasthmatic drug with properties similar to sodium cromoglycate. We examined the efficacy of nedocromil sodium compared to placebo in 71 asthmatic patients in a three-centre double-blind parallel group study over 12 weeks. During the study the patients' maintenance inhaled corticosteroids were progressively withdrawn. Nedocromil sodium had an advantage over placebo in the number of withdrawals related to uncontrolled asthma, 14 and 24 respectively (p = 0.03). Changes in symptom scores, peak flow rates and bronchodilator use favoured nedocromil sodium occasionally during the study. The unusual taste of the active drug was reported frequently. Nedocromil sodium is more efficacious than placebo in asthma maintenance, but does not replace inhaled corticosteroids.

Chemosensory Performance of Molecularly Imprinted Fluorescent Conjugated Polymer Materials (2007)

Fluorescent conjugated polymers are an attractive basis for the design of low detection limit sensing devices owing to their intrinsic signal amplification capability. A simple and universal method to rationally control or fine-tune the chemodetection selectivity of conjugated polymer materials toward a desired analytical target would further benefit their applications. In a quest of such a method we investigated a general approach to cross-linked molecularly imprinted fluorescent conjugated polymer (MICP) materials that possess an intrinsic capability for signal transduction and have potential to enhance selectivity and sensitivity of sensor devices based on conjugated polymers. To study these capabilities, we prepared an MICP material for the detection of 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene and related nitroaromatic compounds. We found the imprinting effect in this material to be based on analyte shape/size recognition being substantial and generally overcoming other competing thermodynamically determined trends. The described molecularly imprinted fluorescent conjugated polymers show remarkable air stability and photostability, high fluorescence quantum yield, and reversible analyte binding and therefore are advantageous for sensing applications due to the ability to "preprogram" their detection selectivity through a choice of an imprinted template.
IUD patient selection and practice guidelines. (1998)

Contraceptive practice guidelines have the potential to assist health care providers in evaluating the needs and expectations of women seeking contraception, educating patients, and monitoring successful contraceptive use. This article presents guidelines for IUD patient selection developed by several members of the editorial board of the US newsletter, "Dialogues in Contraception." Misinformation about the IUD has prevented many clinicians and patients from considering this method, despite recent improvements in its design. The currently available data suggest that the two IUDs available in the US, Copper T 380A and Progestasert, cause a local reaction that is toxic to sperm (and perhaps ova), thereby preventing fertilization. Modern IUDs, which use only monofilament tails, do not increase the risk of pelvic inflammatory disease in women without evidence of lower genital tract infection. Beyond avoiding women at risk for sexually transmitted diseases, there are few barriers to IUD use. The method is appropriate for women who are contemplating but ambivalent about sterilization, aged under 25 years, perimenopausal, nulliparous or parous, postpartum or postabortion, lactating, and cigarette smokers over 35 years of age. Contraindications to IUD use are postpregnancy infection, unresolved acute cervicitis or vaginitis, distorted uterine cavity, uterine or cervical cancer, unexplained abnormal vaginal bleeding, increased susceptibility to infection, genital actinomycosis, immunocompromised patients, and diabetes mellitus (progesterone-releasing IUD only).

A prospective, randomized clinical trial to compare the effect of hyperbaric to normobaric hyperoxia on cerebral metabolism, intracranial pressure, and oxygen toxicity in severe traumatic brain injury (2009)

Hyperbaric O2 has a more robust posttreatment effect than NBH on oxidative cerebral metabolism related to its ability to produce a brain tissue PO2 > or = 200 mm Hg. However, it appears that O2 treatment for severe TBI is not an all or nothing phenomenon but represents a graduated effect. No signs of pulmonary or cerebral O2 toxicity were present.
Synthesis and properties of carboxymethyl cellulose‐<i>graft</i>‐poly(acrylic acid‐<i>co</i>‐acrylamide) as a novel cellulose‐based superabsorbent (2006)

Abstract A new cellulose‐based superabsorbent polymer, carboxymethyl cellulose‐ graft ‐poly(acrylic acid‐ co ‐acrylamide), was prepared by the free‐radical grafting solution polymerization of acrylic acid (AA) and acrylamide (AM) monomers onto carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) in the presence of N,N ′‐methylenebisacrylamide as a crosslinker with a redox couple of potassium persulfate and sodium metabisulfite as an initiator. The influences of reaction variables such as the initiator content, crosslinker content, bath temperature, molar ratio of AA to AM, and weight ratio of the monomers to CMC on the water absorbency of the carboxymethylcellulose‐ graft ‐poly(acrylic acid‐ co ‐acrylamide) copolymer were investigated. The copolymer's structures were characterized with Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The optimum reaction conditions were obtained as follows: the bath temperature was 50°C; the molar ratio of AA to AM was 3 : 1; the mass ratio of the monomers to CMC was 4 : 1; and the weight percentages of the crosslinker and initiator with respect to the monomers were 0.75 and 1%, respectively. The maximum water absorbency of the optimized product was 920 g/g for distilled water and 85 g/g for a 0.9 wt % aqueous NaCl solution. In addition, the superabsorbent possessed good water retention and salt resistance. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 103: 1382–1388, 2007
Enhancement of ascorbate cytotoxicity by chelation with ferrous ions through prolonged duration of the action. (1987)

Fe(II)-L-ascorbic acid complex (FeAsc) exhibited a greater cytotoxicity [50% inhibitory dose (IC50), 24-32 microM] to human carcinoma A 549 or rat SV40-transformed W3Y cells than ascorbic acid (Asc) (IC50, 460-660 microM); a simple mixture of Fe(II) and Asc, or Fe(II) alone was also less cytotoxic. Malignant cells from a variety of tissues of different species were also susceptible to FeAsc. FeAsc exhibited a longer half-life (66-82 hours) during cell contact than that of Asc (2.5-3.1 hours). Thus chelated Fe(II) but not unbound Fe (II) was responsible for the enhanced cytotoxicity of FeAsc, which was attributed primarily to its prolonged duration of action.
Bladder neck suspension for stress urinary incontinence: How does it work? (1999)

The objective of this study was to compare urethral resistance as determined in pressure-flow studies before and after Burch retropubic urethropexy. Urethral resistance was retrospectively determined from pressure-flow studies in 178 patients before and 1 year after Burch retropubic urethropexy. Results of cotton swab tests, pressure transmission to the proximal urethra, and urethral functional length were also recorded. Results were analyzed statistically using the two-tailed paired t-test. Voiding studies in 176 patients were analyzed before and after Burch retropubic urethropexy. Mean urethral resistance increased significantly over preoperative values after successful surgery, from 0.051 to 0.099. The mean urethral resistance in patients in whom surgery failed to cure stress incontinence was unchanged from the preoperative value of 0.041. There was no direct correlation between stabilizing the bladder base, as evaluated by the cotton swab test, and cure of stress incontinence. When successful in curing genuine stress urinary incontinence, the Burch retropubic urethropexy increases urethral resistance. Creating bladder neck support without affecting urethral resistance does not, by itself, restore continence. Neurourol. Urodynam. 18:623-627, 1999.
Combining Micron-Size Glass Spheres with Silver Nanoparticles to Produce Extraordinary Field Enhancements for Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering Applications (2006)

Using Mie theory and a T-matrix method, we have studied the interaction of light with a micron-size glass sphere and a dimer of silver nanoparticles in order to assess the feasibility of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) that combined dielectric hot spots with plasmon excitation. We show that when light interacts with glass spheres, there is a robust hot spot on the surface in the forward direction with dimensions of a few hundred nanometers both parallel and perpendicular to the surface. For a glass sphere in vacuum with a refractive index of 1.9 and a radius of 4 μm, we find that the electric field enhancement at this hot spot is |E| 2 = 500. If a dimer of silver particles (spheres of radius 30 nm placed 2 nm apart) is placed at this hot spot, the peak near-field between the nanoparticles is found to be |E| 2 = 7x10 6 . This enhancement factor, which is approximately the product of the dimer-only enhancement factor (∼104) and the hot spot enhancement, is comparable to the largest field enhancements that we have obtained with other nanoparticle structures. It is large enough that the observation of single molecule SERS might be possible with this structure.
Effects of fibrates on C-reactive protein concentrations: a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (2011)

Fibrates can reduce CRP concentrations and change in CRP was correlated with change in high-density lipoprotein cholesterol but not with triglyceride. These findings suggest that patients with dyslipidemia could benefit from fibrates treatment by CRP lowering and this benefit is associated with lipid profile improving.

Seed Layer Free Conformal Ruthenium Film Deposition on Hole Substrates by MOCVD Using (2,4-Dimethylpentadienyl)(ethylcyclopentadienyl)ruthenium (2006)

Ruthenium thin films were deposited at on hole substrates by metallorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) using (-dimethylpentadienyl)(ethylcyclopentadienyl)ruthenium for the Ru source. The microstructure, conformability, crystallinity, and resistivity of the films were examined. Conformal films whose resistivity was below -cm were deposited below on hole substrates with aspect ratio of 1.7. Finally, conformal films with a step coverage of 97% were deposited on hole substrates, even those with a high aspect ratio of 6.4, by using without a seed layer.
The behavior of silicon <i>p</i>-<i>n</i> junction-based devices at liquid helium temperatures (1991)

In this paper, the forward current-voltage (I-V) characteristics of Si p-n junction diodes, fabricated in different state-of-the-art complementary-metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) technologies, are investigated at liquid helium temperatures. As will be shown, three different I-V regimes can exist: a forward breakdown/hysteresis regime at a turn-on voltage which may be larger than the built-in potential of the junction; a thermionic emission regime, corresponding to a I=A exp(qV/kT) relation and a high-injection space-charge-limited regime, giving rise to a current which is proportional to Vn. The anomalous turn-on behavior can be explained by considering the small barrier for carrier injection, which exists at the ‘‘ohmic’’ contact. It will be demonstrated that the presence of this forward breakdown is strongly determined by the fabrication technology used. In extreme cases (large-area well diodes) multiple breakdown is observed, indicating an inhomogeneous, filamentary current flow. As will be shown, similar breakdown behavior is observed in more complex junction-based Si devices at 4.2 K; the consequences for deep-cryogenic CMOS circuitry will be briefly addressed.
Automatic atomic region identification in shared memory SPMD programs (2010)

This paper presents TransFinder, a compile-time tool that automatically determines which statements of an unsynchronized multithreaded program must be enclosed in atomic regions to enforce conflict-serializability. Unlike previous tools, TransFinder requires no programmer input (beyond the program) and is more efficient in both time and space.
Plasma Oscillations at Extremely High Frequencies (1956)

Plasma oscillations are here treated for a frequency range having application not only to gaseous discharges but also to solids such as impurity semiconductors. Amplification of longitudinal electrostatic waves in a plasma may be achieved through energy exchange with a synchronously traveling electron beam, this being the same mechanism which underlies amplification in the traveling-wave tube. The dispersion equation describing this beam-plasma interaction, first derived by Bohm and Gross, is studied systematically to obtain the characteristics of the growth-in-time, ω vs κ, of standing plasma waves and the complex propagation constant κ vs ω for traveling plasma waves, at extremely high frequencies (high plasma densities). The problem of collision damping is also discussed. The possible application of plasma oscillations to the solution of the problem of the generation of millimeter wave power is considered, both for plasmas in gaseous discharges and for the thermally generated plasmas in impurity semiconductors.
Mobile IP using private IP addresses (2002)

The mobile IP data communication is widely spreading. Accordingly, it is pointed out that the number of IP addresses in IPv4 will be short if every mobile terminal has its IP address. In order to solve this address starvation problem, we propose an approach to realize mobile IP protocol by assigning a private IP address to a mobile terminal. It installs the foreign agent and home agent with network address translator (NAT) function, and it coordinates domain name server (DNS) procedure and NAT function in order to allow a correspondent node to make a connection to a mobile terminal. This paper describes the detailed design of our approach.
