Risk Factors Associated with the Development of Intestinal Metaplasia in First-Degree Relatives of Gastric Cancer Patients

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Abstract Family relatives of gastric cancer patients have a higher risk of gastric cancer and premalignant gastric lesions. We sought to determine the risk factors associated with the presence of intestinal metaplasia in a large cohort of gastric cancer relatives. First-degree relatives of gastric cancer patients were invited for screening gastroscopy. Endoscopic gastric biopsies were obtained from the antrum and corpus. Gastric biopsies were analyzed for Helicobacter pylori infection, severity of inflammation, and presence of intestinal metaplasia. Stepwise logistic regressions were used to identify for risk factors associated with presence of intestinal metaplasia in cancer relatives. Two hundred seventy cancer relatives underwent screening endoscopy (median age, 42; 47% male and 48% siblings). Among them, 161 (59.6%) were H. pylori positive and 81 (30%) had confirmed intestinal metaplasia. The following factors were found to be associated with the presence of intestinal metaplasia: age, male sex, H. pylori infection, birth order, alcohol use, siblings with stomach cancer, childhood living conditions, and water supply. Individuals with intestinal metaplasia had more severe acute and chronic inflammation in the antrum and corpus (P &lt; 0.003). With multiple logistic regression, H. pylori infection [odds ratio (OR), 3.23], male gender (OR, 2.09), age (OR, 1.07), and a history of gastric cancer in siblings (OR, 1.91) were independent factors associated with the development of intestinal metaplasia in cancer relatives. In conclusion, we have identified risk factors associated with gastric intestinal metaplasia in stomach cancer relatives, which may be useful in the understanding of gastric carcinogenesis in these high-risk individuals.

Energy dissipation rate profiles derived from tethered balloon-borne measurements on 2020-04-06 from 12:47 to 13:07 during MOSAiC leg 3

Field: Earth and Planetary Sciences (Physical Sciences)

This is a dataset of energy dissipation rates that were derived from turbulence measurements with a tethered balloon. A hot-wire anemometer package was operated during Legs 1, 2, and 3 of the MOSAiC (Multidisciplinary drifting Observatory for the Study of Arctic Climate) expedition. From the temporal high-resolution wind velocity records, energy dissipation rate (EDR) profiles were derived for non-overlapping 1 s time periods. With that, vertical profiles of the turbulence quantity are available for 34 days between 2019-12-06 and 2020-05-06 covering polar night and spring. The vertical profiles of turbulence measurements reach typically up to height of several hundred meters (~200 m to ~1400 m).\nThe data set contains not only the time stamps of the intervals used to calculate the EDR and the derived EDR values, but also the altitude values, the applied scaling coefficient and the upper bound of the inertial subrange.

Accessory cell-T lymphocyte interactions. Antigen-dependent and - independent clustering

Field: Immunology and Microbiology (Life Sciences)

Previous work documented the capacity of dendritic cells (DC) to stimulate primary immune responses and to physically cluster with the responding lymphocytes. Rapid cell-cell aggregation assays were used here to study the interaction of DC and other types of APC with T lymphocytes. Graded doses of APC were sedimented with T cells that had been primed to alloantigens, soluble proteins, or lectin, and then labeled with carboxyfluorescein diacetate. The number of clustered T cells was measured after 10 min at 4 or 37 degrees C. At 4 degrees, binding was antigen-dependent and included greater than 50% of the added T cells. Clustering was mediated by all types of APC tested, including DC, macrophages, B lymphocytes, and fresh Langerhans cells, although DC were the most effective. Specificity was evident in the findings that alloreactive T lymphoblasts bound to allogeneic but not syngeneic APC; KLH- and OVA-reactive T cells bound to syngeneic APC in the presence of specific protein: and Con A blasts needed lectin to cluster. A 30 min pretreatment with chloroquine, a drug known to inhibit APC activity, markedly blocked the specific binding of alloreactive and protein-specific T blasts at 4 degrees C. Since Lyt-2- alloreactive blasts should specifically recognize Ia, presentation of Ia seems to be altered by chloroquine. Binding assays at 37 degrees C gave similar results to those performed at 4 degrees C, with one exception. When DC were used as APC, striking antigen-independent clustering occurred. DC could efficiently cluster primed T cells in the absence of alloantigen, soluble protein, or lectin. We suggest that antigen-independent binding contributes to the distinctive capacity of DC to prime T cells in the afferent limb of the immune response, whereas antigen-dependent binding between other APC and sensitized lymphocytes is critical in the efferent limb.

Assessment of Genetic Variability and Heritability in Indian Mustard (Brassica juncea L.) Genotypes

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

The present study was undertaken to assess genetic variability and divergence among 42 genotypes sourced from AICRP on Rapeseed and Mustard, ZARS, Morena of Indian mustard (Brassica juncea L.) under field conditions at the Zonal Agricultural Research Station, Morena, Madhya Pradesh, during Rabi 2020–21. The experimental was laid out in a randomized block design with three replications, twelve agronomic traits were evaluated, including phenological, morphological, and yield-related characters. The results revealed that significant genotypic differences were observed for all traits, highlighting substantial variability within the studied genotypes. Notably, genotypic and phenotypic coefficients of variation were moderate to high for key traits such as secondary branches per plant (23.709 and 23.758, respectively), seed yield per plant (15.846 and 15.857, respectively), test weight (15.539 and 15.635, respectively), and siliqua length (11.198 and 15.582, respectively). High heritability (>60%) coupled with high genetic advance was recorded for several traits, including seed yield per plant (99.85%, 32.61%, respectively), indicating the predominance of additive gene action and scope for effective selection. Traits such as plant height, test weight, number of secondary branches, and siliqua length also exhibited promising genetic parameters. These findings suggest that seed yield and its contributing traits could serve as reliable selection indices in mustard breeding programs, providing valuable insights for the development of improved cultivars with higher productivity and desirable agronomic characteristics.
The association between climate variables and tuberculosis in Kolaka District, Southeast Sulawesi Province, Indonesia, 2013–2020: a Bayesian autoregressive model

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Background Tuberculosis is one of the diseases that requires comprehensive treatment. This disease is highly contagious and can be transmitted through the air. Climate factors play a role in the increasing cases of tuberculosis. This study aimed to determine the correlation between climatic variables and TB in Kolaka District, Southeast Sulawesi Province, Indonesia, Methods This research was modeled using an autoregressive (AR) Bayesian model with three possible likelihoods; Gaussian, Poisson and Negative Binomial responses. Results Minimum temperature, a coefficient of 4.234 suggests that for every 1 degree increase in minimum temperature, there is an estimated increase of approximately four cases, assuming other variables remain constant. Maximum temperature, a coefficient of 17.851 suggests that for every 1 degree increase in maximum temperature, there is an estimated increase of around 17-18 cases, assuming other variables remain constant. Average temperature, a coefficient of 4.234 suggests that for every 1 degree increase in average temperature, there is an estimated increase of approximately four cases, assuming other variables remain constant. Humidity, a coefficient of -13.413 suggests that for every 1% increase in humidity, there is an estimated decrease of around 13 cases, assuming other variables remain constant. Rainfall, a coefficient of -0.327 suggests that for every 1 mm increase in rainfall, there is an estimated decrease of around 0.327 cases, assuming other variables remain constant. Light, a coefficient of -4.322 suggests that for every 1-hour increase in light duration, there is an estimated decrease of around four cases, assuming other variables remain constant. Conclusions Climate change has a significant impact on tuberculosis through temperature-related factors. These factors influence the prevalence, spread, and vulnerability to TB. Addressing these challenges requires a holistic approach involving adaptation planning. Strong public health systems and healthcare infrastructure can help mitigate the risks and impacts of climate change-related tuberculosis.

Ester hydrolysis catalysed by ortho-palladated aryl oximes

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

Hydrolysis of 4-nitro- and 2,4-dinitro-phenyl carboxylates proceeds catalytically in the presence of ortho-palladated aryl oximes 4. The catalytic reaction involves two active species, identified as aquated complexes 4 with protonated (kAH path) and deprotonated (kA path) oximate groups, respectively. Both species contain a weakly basic coordinated hydroxide anion manifested in the kAH path. Other cyclopalladated hydroxo complexes 8, lacking an oxime group, are shown to react with 2,4-dinitrophenyl acetate with rate constants ca. ten times greater than those expected from their basicity. The rate constants kA obey a Brønsted correlation (β ca. 1) with the pKa of the coordinated oxime group. In neutral solution, palladated oximes react with esters ca. 103 times faster than the respective free oximes. The O-acyl oxime intermediate undergoes very fast hydrolysis through intramolecular attack by the coordinated hydroxide. Factors ensuring the combination of fast acylation and deacylation steps are discussed with reference to some related systems.
Annexin 1, An Engulfment Ligand

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

How are dying cells recognized by those that will engulf them? It has been postulated that apoptotic cells signal to the engulfers by exposing a cell surface marker. Several potential and diverse receptors present on engulfing cells have been implicated in such a process, but identities of the ligands have remained unknown. By characterizing the membrane protein profile of normal and apoptotic T cells, Arur et al. determined that expression of the phosphatidylserine (PS)-binding protein annexin 1 was upregulated in cells upon treatment with an antibody that stimulates the Fas death receptor. This cell death trigger stimulated translocation and colocalization of cytosolic annexin 1 to PS-rich regions of the plasma membrane. Treatment of cells with a caspase inhibitor blocked apoptosis and annexin 1 externalization. Down-regulation of annexin 1 expression in T cells by small interfering RNA reduced tethering of T cells to engulfing endothelial cells, but addition of soluble annexin 1 rescued tethering. Decreased expression of a receptor for PS (PSR) in endothelial cells also reduced tethering to apoptotic T cells. Finally, down-regulation of an annexin 1 homolog in Caenorhabditis elegans prevented engulfment of cell corpses. The authors propose that annexin 1-mediated signals are transmitted by PSR to induce the engulf response. S. Arur, U. E. Uche, K. Rezaul, M. Fong, V. Scranton, A. E. Cowan, W. Mohler, D. K.

Condition monitoring of IGBT

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Power semiconductor devices play an important role in industrial applications. In power electronics, semiconductor devices are used as a controlled switch. It has been used in many applications such as high-power equipment, electric railways, power supplies, medical equipment to automobiles and our home appliances. Different types of power semiconductor devices have been used in different applications but Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors - IGBT has been used in many areas of applications due to their relatively high frequency and switching in power handling capability. Since IGBT has been increasing popularity of being used for high switching applications, it is important to monitor the ageing and degradation so that it can prolong the lifetime of IGBT. This study focus on the condition monitoring of the IGBT. This includes implementation and testing of IGBT, experimental work is carried out on degradation of IGBT using active power cycling method. The in-built machine is set up to degrade the IGBT through power cycling. IGBT characteristics such as on-state resistance, diode forward resistance, power losses are measured and compared for both new and degraded IGBT. Different model of IGBT also used to get the measurement of losses using bond wire cut technique. This condition monitor of IGBT can be used for further experiments and study to make a comparison with other switching devices such as MOSFET and BJT of their lifetime characteristics.
Extending symbol interdependency: perceptual scene vectors

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Louwerse (2011) advances the symbol interdependency hypothesis by demonstrating empirically the importance of statistical regularities in linguistic surface structures. Symbol interdependency posits that meaning extraction attributed to embodied representations or algorithms should instead be attributed to language. In a series of seven computational experiments, we find that language surface structure best encodes meaning when the structural cues are sufficiently constrained by modeller- determined feature sets, with performance deteriorating for randomly selected language surface cues. We further find that Latent Semantic Analysis’ meaning encoding improves as weaker dimensions are removed. These findings collectively indicate that although language is important, increasing the relevance of linguistic statistical regularities is also critical. We introduce Perceptual Scene Vectors (PSVs), a novel approach that uses object co-occurrences from images to automatically extract strong associative and taxonomic relationships. This approach extracts these associations more successfully than the language-based approaches, measured both qualitatively and quantitatively, with an original application of a cluster-correspondence metric. PSVs encode meaning without modellers hand-coding relevant features. This provides an ecologically valid approach to extending symbol interdependency beyond language and partially solving the relevance problem in semantics by grounding meaning extraction in real-world visual scenes.

Ternate-tidore spice islands: a territory branding process

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Territory branding strategies have recently been adopted to intensify urban competition for resources, markets, opportunities and attention. This paper examines the new strategy for territory management through branding for a low GDP territory but with remarkable natural resources. Applying the “critical city” approach, analysis through diagnosis will be started by SWOT tools to define vision and mission. Then priority and drivers are formulated to be achieved in the future. Branding, placement and benchmarking are considered as the marketing process which will be followed by strategy implementation in some projects as actions. From the results, the strong territory branding based on its identity can be formulated.

Sensitivity of surface acoustic wave velocity in lithium niobate to electric field or biasing stress

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

Velocity shifts of surface acoustic waves (SAW) for lithium niobate due to homogeneous external static stress or an electric field are presented. Stress sensitivity is defined through six independent components of a second order symmetric tensor, and electric field sensitivity is a vector of three components. Maps for different cuts of LiNbO3 and different directions of SAW propagation have been computed. These maps can be used to find new cuts of lithium niobate, which has large or zero sensitivity either on the stress or the electric field. It could be useful for special applications of LiNbO3 substrate in a SAW devices technique.
