A family of peptidoglycan recognition proteins in the fruit fly<i>Drosophila melanogaster</i> (2000)

Peptidoglycans from bacterial cell walls trigger immune responses in insects and mammals. A peptidoglycan recognition protein, PGRP, has been cloned from moths as well as vertebrates and has been shown to participate in peptidoglycan-mediated activation of prophenoloxidase in the silk moth. Here we report that Drosophila expresses 12 PGRP genes, distributed in 8 chromosomal loci on the 3 major chromosomes. By analyzing cDNA clones and genomic databases, we grouped them into two classes: PGRP-SA, SB1, SB2, SC1A, SC1B, SC2, and SD, with short transcripts and short 5'-untranslated regions; and PGRP-LA, LB, LC, LD, and LE, with long transcripts and long 5'-untranslated regions. The predicted structures indicate that the first group encodes extracellular proteins and the second group, intracellular and membrane-spanning proteins. Most PGRP genes are expressed in all postembryonic stages. Peptidoglycan injections strongly induce five of the genes. Transcripts from the different PGRP genes were found in immune competent organs such as fat body, gut, and hemocytes. We demonstrate that at least PGRP-SA and SC1B can bind peptidoglycan, and a function in immunity is likely for this family.
Genetically modified tumour vaccines: an obstacle race to break host tolerance to cancer (2001)

The development of genetically modified tumour vaccines (GMTV) has been prompted by a better understanding of antitumour immune responses and genetic engineering technologies, as well as the identification of numerous tumour antigens (TA) in several malignancies which occasionally induce spontaneous tumour regressions. Cellular vaccines are based on autologous or allogeneic tumour cells genetically engineered to secrete different cytokines, co-stimulatory molecules, or allogeneic HLA molecules in order to provide a strong stimulatory signal together with the presented TA. Another promising approach that is targeted towards breaking immune tolerance to TA, exploits dendritic cells (DC) loaded or genetically modified with TA (and sometimes cytokines). Effective nonviral and viral gene delivery systems have been constructed including a third generation of adenoviral, lentiviral and hybrid vectors. Studies in mice demonstrated that therapeutic, curative immune responses might be elicited by GMTV. Promising results from animal studies are rarely seen in human trials. Several reasons, such as numerous escape mechanisms of slowly evolving spontaneous tumours and immune incompetence of advanced patients, are major concerns. Improved monitoring of immune responses to GMTV is essential to distinguish between responders and non-responders in order to tailor immune therapy strategy to the individual patient.
Flow propagation velocity is not a simple index of diastolic function in early filling. A comparative study of early diastolic strain rate and strain rate propagation, flow and flow propagation in normal and reduced diastolic function (2003)

The present study shows strain rate propagation to be a measure of filling time, but flow propagation to be a function of both flow velocity and strain rate propagation. Thus flow propagation is not a simple index of diastolic function in delayed relaxation.
An empirical law describing heterogeneity in the yields of agricultural crops (1938)

Using data from a blank experiment with wheat it was found that the regression of the logarithms of the variances for plots of different areas on the logarithms of their areas was approximately linear. A graphical review of variances, etc., reported in the literature for thirty-nine other blank experiments indicates that the results of most such experiments conform to the same law. It is shown that the above law can be generalized (so as to be applicable to any size of field) by applying a certain adjustment to the regression coefficient b ', so as to give a modified coefficient b applicable to an “infinite” field. From this generalized relationship there has been deduced an expression ((4), p. 16) to indicate average relative efficiencies to be expected for randomized block experiments with varying numbers of plots per block in a field for which the coefficient b is known. A formulae (5), which may be used to estimate the most efficient size of plot for any given experiment, has also been deduced. The cost of using plots of other than the most efficient size is indicated graphically in Fig. 7.
Everyday executive function predicts adaptive and internalizing behavior among children with and without autism spectrum disorder (2017)

We examined whether parents' ratings of their children's flexibility and ability to monitor their behavior predicted adaptive skills (e.g., ability to complete day-to-day personal tasks, communicate, and socialize) and symptoms of anxiety and depression among children with and without autism spectrum disorder. For both groups, children's abilities to manage and monitor their behavior were strongly related to adaptive skills. Children's flexibility and ability to inhibit inappropriate behavior and control their emotions was associated with depression symptoms for both groups.
The dichotomy of universalism and particularism in French Guiana (2016)

December 2015 was a landmark in the political history of French Guiana with the election of the new single territorial community – the collectivité unique - which enshrined the official demise of the Région and, more pertinently, the Département that had previously embodied the principle of assimilation of this South American French territory to France. Broadly-speaking, the traditional two-tier system – which exists all over metropolitan France, although, in contrast to those overseas, mainland Regions comprise multiple Departments – has been slimmed down and streamlined into a single political body combining the powers of the former two. Martinique undertook the same reforms, albeit with different sociopolitical overtones, while Guadeloupe, which had turned down the offer of institutional change that was put to the Caribbean Overseas Departments in a 2010 referendum, maintained the departmental institution inherited from the 1946 law that had aligned the former colonies to the metropolitan institutional model. Guadeloupe also kept the Région which was established by François Mitterrand in 1982 and extended to the ‘four old colonies’ (Guadeloupe, Guyana, Martinique and Réunion). With the two former municipalities of Saint Martin and Saint Barthelemy, which acceded to the slightly different status of Overseas Territories when they split from ‘continental’ Guadeloupe, France now has five dependencies in the Caribbean region.
Distinct Expression of Cytokines and Mitogenic Inhibitory Factors in Semen of Fertile and Infertile Men (1997)

Seminal plasma of fertile men had more inhibitory mitogenic activity than that of OTA. Sperm cells constitutively produce IL-1. It is possible that the factors involved in this inhibition are not only anti-proliferative immune factors. Cytokines and inhibitory factors of mitogenesis in the seminal plasma may be involved in the physiology and pathophysiology of sperm functions and thus affect male fertility.

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia: 2020 update on diagnosis, risk stratification and treatment (2019)

Targeted agents (ibrutinib, idelalisib, venetoclax, obinutuzumab) will be increasingly used in combination to allow for short, but potentially definitive therapies of CLL. It remains to be proven that they generate a superior outcome when compared to monotherapies with inhibitors of Bruton tyrosine kinase, which can also yield long-lasting remissions. Moreover, the optimal sequencing of drug combinations is unknown. Therefore, CLL patients should be treated in clinical trials whenever possible.
Análisis de costos en la terapéutica con acupuntura, homeopatía y fármacos en pacientes con crisis aguda de asma bronquial (2004)

Se realizo un estudio descriptivo en el Hospital General Docente “Dr. A. Neto” y en la policlinica docente “Martires del 4 de Agosto”, de la ciudad de Guantanamo, desde septiembre de 1998 hasta agosto de 2001. La muestra estuvo conformada por 294 pacientes escogidos al azar que acudieron a los cuerpos de guardias de los centros asistenciales mencionados, por crisis aguda de asma bronquial. Se estudiaron en ellos las variables: respuesta al tratamiento, costo en los pacientes tratados de forma convencional, acupuntura y homeopatia, asi como la comparacion en las diferentes formas de tratamiento, para lo cual los pacientes fueron distribuidos en tres grupos de estudio, y cada uno de ellos fue tratado de forma diferente: acupuntura, homeopatia y convencional. Hubo predominio de la buena respuesta al tratamiento. La utilizacion de la acupuntura y la homeopatia fue mas economica.
Robust Identification of Browser Fingerprint Comparison Using Edit Distance (2015)

Web browser fingerprinting is a method currently used to identify a user's device based on the features of the device and a browser. Although this method has been used for Web tracking, its utilization for risk-based authentication or forensics is expected. However, our studies reveal that some features used in fingerprinting undergo short-term changes, which makes continuous device identification difficult. In this paper, we propose a method for identifying features before the change and after the change based on degrees of similarity. Thus, we demonstrate that continuous identification is possible even if the features change. In the datasets that we collected, when using only the information of a plugin list installed in a device, our method identifies whether the same or a different device is used with 97.94% or 97.95% accuracy, respectively.
Chemical Toxicity of Indocyanine Green Damages Retinal Pigment Epithelium (2005)

Commonly used dosages of ICG directly applied into the vitreous cavity, which not only contact the retina but also invade the space between the retina and RPE through a macular hole, may be sufficient to induce retinal disorders after the damaging chemical property of ICG has disturbed the microenvironment.
Catalytic Co-pyrolysis of Biomass and Different Plastics (Polyethylene, Polypropylene, and Polystyrene) To Improve Hydrocarbon Yield in a Fluidized-Bed Reactor (2014)

Biomass catalytic fast pyrolysis can produce aromatics and olefins, which are used as petrochemicals. However, the yields of aromatics and olefins are still very low. In this work, catalytic co-pyrolysis of pine sawdust and plastics (polyethylene, polypropylene, and polystyrene) was conducted in a fluidized-bed reactor to improve the yields of aromatics and olefins. The effects of different temperatures, polyethylene/pine sawdust ratios, different catalysts, and plastics on the product distributions were studied. The results show there are some positive synergistic effects between the two feedstocks. The maximum carbon yield of petrochemicals (71%) was obtained at 600 °C with a spent fluidized catalytic cracking (FCC) catalyst and polyethylene/pine sawdust ratio of 4:1. LOSA-1 presents better catalytic performances than Al2O3 and spent FCC catalysts. The petrochemical carbon yield with LOSA-1 is almost 2 times that without catalyst. Catalytic co-pyrolysis of polystyrene and pine sawdust produced the highest and lowest yields of aromatics (47%) and olefins (11.4%), respectively.
Complement peptide C3a stimulates neural plasticity after experimental brain ischaemia (2016)

Ischaemic stroke induces endogenous repair processes that include proliferation and differentiation of neural stem cells and extensive rewiring of the remaining neural connections, yet about 50% of stroke survivors live with severe long-term disability. There is an unmet need for drug therapies to improve recovery by promoting brain plasticity in the subacute to chronic phase after ischaemic stroke. We previously showed that complement-derived peptide C3a regulates neural progenitor cell migration and differentiation in vitro and that C3a receptor signalling stimulates neurogenesis in unchallenged adult mice. To determine the role of C3a-C3a receptor signalling in ischaemia-induced neural plasticity, we subjected C3a receptor-deficient mice, GFAP-C3a transgenic mice expressing biologically active C3a in the central nervous system, and their respective wild-type controls to photothrombotic stroke. We found that C3a overexpression increased, whereas C3a receptor deficiency decreased post-stroke expression of GAP43 (P < 0.01), a marker of axonal sprouting and plasticity, in the peri-infarct cortex. To verify the translational potential of these findings, we used a pharmacological approach. Daily intranasal treatment of wild-type mice with C3a beginning 7 days after stroke induction robustly increased synaptic density (P < 0.01) and expression of GAP43 in peri-infarct cortex (P < 0.05). Importantly, the C3a treatment led to faster and more complete recovery of forepaw motor function (P < 0.05). We conclude that C3a-C3a receptor signalling stimulates post-ischaemic neural plasticity and intranasal treatment with C3a receptor agonists is an attractive approach to improve functional recovery after ischaemic brain injury.
Novel multireceiver communication systems configurations based on optimal estimation theory (1992)

A multireceiver configuration for the purpose of carrier arraying and/or signal arraying is presented. The configuration is arrived at by formulating the carrier and/or signal arraying problem as an optimal estimation problem and consists of two stages. The first stage optimally estimates various phase processes received at different receivers with coupled phase-locked loops, (PLL) wherein the individual PLLs acquire and track their respective receivers' phase processes but are aided by each other in an optimal manner via low-frequency error signals. The coupled PLL estimator is followed by a linear or nonlinear combining of the quadrature-phase components of the mixers from various receivers for the purpose of data detection. The proposed configuration results in the minimization of the effective radio loss as the combiner output and thus maximization of energy per bit to noise power spectral density ratio is achieved. An adaptive algorithm for the estimator of the signal model parameters when these are not known a priori is also presented.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Pathogenesis of NASH: Animal Models (2007)

The incidence of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, a disorder linked to visceral adiposity, insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, and type 2 diabetes mellitus, is increasing with the rise in the prevalence of the metabolic syndrome. This review focuses on animal models of steatohepatitis currently used to study (1) the mechanisms regulating hepatic lipid, glucose, and cholesterol homeostasis and (2) inflammatory recruitment and fibrogenesis in the steatotic liver. The ultimate aim of this research is to gain insights into the role of hepatic lipid, inflammation, and fibrosis in human non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
Berberine-induced apoptotic and autophagic death of HepG2 cells requires AMPK activation (2014)

Together, these results suggested that berberine-induced both apoptotic and autophagic death requires AMPK activation in HepG2 cells.
Cytarabine Added to Interferon Improves the Cost-Effectiveness of Initial Therapy for Patients with Early Chronic Phase Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia (2001)

The French Chronic Myeloid Leukemia Study Group prospective randomized study results indicate that the addition of cytarabine to alpha interferon (IFN-alpha) increases the rate of major cytogenetic response and prolongs survival in patients with early chronic phase chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML). The French group study design permitted a single crossover to include or discontinue cytarabine or interferon. Endpoints were overall survival, complete hematologic remission (CHR) at six months, and major cytogenetic response at 12 months. We modified a published Markov model that compared IFN-alpha alone to IFN-alpha plus cytarabine and included the possibility of crossover as in the French study. The model permits allogeneic and autologous stem cell transplantation (SCT), and follows cytogenetic response and acceleration of CML through death. Treatment response, toxicity, and survival are drawn from the French Chronic Myeloid Leukemia Study Group population of 810 patients on an intention-to-treat model. Survivals are extended to 62 months based on currently available follow-up. Costs from a United States oncology specialty institution, and state utilities from previous research and a quality-adjusted Time Without Symptoms or Toxicity analysis of the subject study were discounted at 3% per annum. At the median cohort age of 50, cytarabine offers 21 months of added median survival to IFN-alpha, which itself is superior to conventional chemotherapy by 21 months. Cost-effectiveness estimates for cytarabine added to IFN-alpha range from $7,000 per quality-adjusted life year (QALY) to $35,000 per QALY, under all plausible assumptions superior to IFN-alpha alone. The model is sensitive to the quality of life on therapy, as well as to remission rate with additive cytarabine, although the cost-effectiveness calculations are robust over the entire range of clinical assumptions. Based on data from the French study, cytarabine added to IFN-alpha substantially improves the cost-effectiveness of initial therapy for early chronic phase CML.
Effects of egg yolk antibody against Porphyromonas gingivalis gingipains in periodontitis patients (2007)

Porphyromonas gingivalis gingipains is suspected to be one of the most important causative agents of periodontitis. We postulated that the inhibition of gingipains may reduce the pathogenic nature of P. gingivalis. Anti-P. gingivalis egg yolk antibody (IgY-GP) was isolated from the yolks of hens immunized with purified gingipains. We applied IgY-GP gel subgingivally in periodontitis patients who harbored P. gingivalis in their subgingival flora. Five pairs of contralateral anterior single-rooted teeth were selected. One tooth in each contralateral pair was randomly treated with IgY-GP and subgingival scaling and root planing, whereas the other tooth was treated with SRP alone. The number of P. gingivalis bacteria was assessed by real-time PCR. Bacterial levels were expressed as the percentage of total bacteria. The IgY-GP group had a significant reduction in probing depth. BOP significantly decreased in the IgY-GP group compared to the control group at week 4. The levels of P. gingivalis significantly increased in the control group at week 4, whereas the reduction in the levels of P. gingivalis was sustained in the IgY-GP group. Within the limitations of the present study, IgY-GP was shown to be an effective immunotherapeutic agent in the treatment of periodontitis.
Comprehensive Performance Analysis of Interconnect Variation by Double and Triple Patterning Lithography Processes (2014)

In this study, structural variations and overlay errors caused by multiple patterning lithography techniques to print narrow parallel metal interconnects are investigated. Resistance and capacitance parasitic of the six lines of parallel interconnects printed by double patterning lithography (DPL) and triple patterning lithography (TPL) are extracted from a field solver. Wide parameter variations both in DPL and TPL processes are analyzed to determine the impact on signal propagation. Simulations of 10% parameter variations in metal lines show delay variations up to 20% and 30% in DPL and TPL, respectively. Monte Carlo statistical analysis shows that the TPL process results in 21% larger standard variation in delay than the DPL process. Crosstalk simulations are conducted to analyze the dependency on the conditions of the neighboring wires. As expected, opposite signal transitions in the neighboring wires significantly degrade the speed of signal propagation, and the impact becomes larger in the C-worst metals patterned by the TPL process compared to those patterned by the DPL process. As a result, both DPL and TPL result in large variations in parasitic and delay. Therefore, an accurate understanding of variations in the interconnect parameters by multiple patterning lithography and adding proper margins in the circuit designs is necessary.
