STUDIES OF THE SELECTION VALUE OF RADIOINDUCED MUTANTS

Air-dried Pisum sativum seeds were exposed to from 7000 to l5000 r of x radiation in steps of 2000 r during the interval 1954 to 1959. The dose rate was approximates 100 r min. A total of 296 clearly identifiable mutants, as based on fertility characteristics, were produced. Of these mutants, tive phase. There were 71 (24%) sterile mutants that grew to maturity, but which were completely sterile because of histological, cytological, or biochemical defects. There were 64 (21.6%) weakly fertile mutants whose seed production was so small that their reproduction was possible only with heterozygotes, but the 82 (27.7%) other mutants were sufficiently fertile to produce pure lines. These mutants showed degrees of fertility which ranged from 4 to 132% of the original seed. As judged from their seed production, approximates 10% of all fertile mutants were within the range of the primary form, and would be evolutionally competitive. On the basis of the total number of mutants produced, this fraction was approximates 2%. The mutants with positive selection value resulted, for the most part, from small mutations, in the sense that this term can be used morphologically and physiologically. The degree of fertility of one early blooming mutantmore » responded specifically to climatic factors. During growth periods with normal rainfall, its seed production was far below that of the parent stock, but in dry years it equalled or exceeded the productivity of the parent stock. For this reason this mutant would be much better able to survive in a dry climate than the parent stock could. (BBB)« less

Abnormal liver tests in the context of alcohol excess

Liver function tests can help identify liver disease and longitudinally follow the course of an illness. As with all tests, defining normal is difficult. A healthy individual may have an abnormal test and tests may be normal in mild or moderate disease. Serum gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT) activity is a widely used marker of alcohol abuse. Its use can supplement the alcohol history but it is not a specific test for alcohol excess. As liver disease progresses to cirrhosis, tests can indicate signs of impaired function including a raised bilirubin, prothrombin time, and a decreased plasma albumin.

Serum Prestin Level May Increase Following Music Exposure That Induces Temporary Threshold Shifts: A Pilot Study

Objectives: To determine if blood prestin level changes after exposure to music at high sound pressure levels, and if this change is associated with temporary threshold shift (TTS) and/or changes in distortion product (DP) amplitude. Design: Participants were exposed to pop-rock music at 100 dBA for 15 min monaurally through headphones. Pure-tone audiometry, DP amplitude, and blood prestin level were measured before and after exposure. Results: Fourteen adults (9 women; age range: 20 to 54 years, median age = 31 [Interquartile ratio = 6.75]) with normal hearing were included in the study. Mean prestin level increased shortly after exposure to music, then returned to baseline within 1 week, although this trend was not observed in all participants. All participants presented TTS or a decrease in DP amplitude in at least one frequency after music exposure. There was a statistically significant average threshold elevation at 4 min postexposure. Statistically significant DP amplitude shifts were observed at 4 and 6 kHz, 2 min following exposure. Mean baseline serum prestin level (mean: 140.00 pg/mL, 95% confidence interval (CI): 125.92 to 154.07) progressively increased following music exposure, reaching a maximum at 2 hr (mean: 158.29 pg/mL, 95% CI: 130.42 to 186.66) and returned to preexposure level at 1 week (mean: 139.18 pg/mL, 95% CI: 114.69 to 163.68). However, after correction for multiple comparisons, mean prestin level showed no statistically significant increase from baseline at any timepoint. No correlation between maximum blood prestin level change and average TTS or distortion product otoacoustic emission amplitude shift was found. However, in an exploratory analysis, TTS at 6 kHz (the frequency at which maximum TTS occurred) decreased significantly as baseline blood prestin level increased. Conclusions: The results suggest that blood prestin level may change after exposure to music at high sound pressure levels, although statistical significance was not reached in this relatively small sample after correction. Baseline serum prestin level may also predict the degree of TTS. These findings thus suggest that the role of baseline serum prestin level as a proxy marker of cochlear susceptibility to intense music exposure should be further explored.

[Accessory scrotum with lipoma: a case report].

A newborn male infant was referred to our clinic because of anomalies of external genitalia. The infant was born at term after a normal pregnancy and delivery, and was appropriate for gestational age. A tumor mass covered with scrotum-like skin on its tip was noticed in the right side of perineum between the scrotum and anus. The raphe, which ran along the midline at the penis and the normal scrotum, circumscribed the right side of this structure. Both testes had descended into the scrotum. The condition was associated with incomplete penoscrotal transposition. There was no other urological anomaly including lower urinary tract. Histological findings of the tumor indicated perineal lipoma, and the scrotum-like portion was diagnosed as an accessory scrotum. Thirty-one report cases of the accessory scrotum including our own were reviewed and discussed.

PERAN SULTAN ISKANDAR MUDA DALAM PENGEMBANGAN PENDIDIKAN ISLAM DI NUSANTARA MASA KESULTANAN ACEH DARUSSALAM TAHUN 1607 – 1636

Abstract : The progress of Islamic development and civilization in the archipelago was marked by the establishment of Islamic sultanates, one of which was Aceh Darussalam. This sultanate reached the peak of its glory and also became the center for the development of Islam in various regions of the archipelago in the 17th century AD during the time of Sultan Iskandar Muda. The aim of this research is to explore the role and political policies implemented during the reign of Sultan Iskandar Muda in the process of developing and expanding Islamic da'wah. This research uses library study methods from various sources such as books, journals, magazines and other documents. The results of this research are that the Sultanate of Aceh Darussalam since its founding until it experienced the peak of progress, especially during the time of Sultan Iskandar Muda, who paid great attention to the development of Islam, has influenced the process of developing and spreading Islamic da'wah in the archipelago, one very important factor is the enactment of qanun meukata alam as State law and Islam received support and legitimacy from the authorities in Haramayn (Mecca and Medina), Islamic teaching centers were developed through institutions that gave birth to Muslim educational scholars who had an influence on that period by producing intellectual works that are still used as references today. This research is important to be used as a reference and additional insight for the development of historical science, especially in exploring insights between the role of Islamic sultanates in the development of Islam in the archipelago.

Abstract LB251: Widespread epigenetic deregulation and its dependency on tumor sidedness in colorectal cancer

Abstract Clinical evidence suggests that right-sided colorectal cancer (CRC) tends to have a worse prognosis compared to left-sided CRC. The distinct functional mechanisms underlying this “sidedness” remain cryptic and poorly understood. Thus, molecular classification of CRC is of paramount in targeting specific subtypes and personalizing treatment for patients. To identify targetable molecular features to improve treatment regimens, we performed multi-faceted network analyses of a large number of CRC patients. In our network model, differential expression of transcript abundance, epigenetic features, and mutational frequency were used to identify widespread gene dysregulation and perturbed pathways to reveal disrupted networks distinct to right or left sided colorectal cancer. We discovered histone related genes and distinct epigenetic signals are at play in right-sided CRC. Additionally, our studies reveal “at risk” patient characteristics suggestive of survival differences, to improve diagnostic predictors based on CRC sidedness. Overall, our integrative approach serves to link molecular profiles distinct between left and right sided colorectal cancer, while paving the way towards identifying more effective treatment alternatives from a previously overlooked, readily characterized subtype of colorectal cancer.

Research on a New Privacy-preserving Algorithm of Association Rules Based on Parameter Perturbation

Due to the reason that the randomness of the parameters in the MASK algorithm always leads to the volatility and uncertainty of the mining results, this paper proposed an optimization algorithm for the maximum likelihood estimation of the parameters to choose a parameter that is most approximate to the common parameters from the parameter group that has been generated randomly.Such a parameter generated as above represented all of the parameters in the parameter group.The simulation experiment proves that the application of such a parameter has reduced the great volatility hidden in the mining results to some extent.

Hematoporphyrin derivative in the detection and localization of radiographically occult lung cancer.

Hematoporphyrin derivative used in conjunction with the Mayo Clinic bronchofiberscopic fluorescence detection system allows accurate localization of radiographically occult early squamous cell carcinoma. Thirteen tumors were localized in 10 patients with radiographically occult lung cancer. Six were in situ with or without microinvasion and were also bronchoscopically occult. Localization of these 6 tumors was expedited by the use of hematoporphyrin derivative and the bronchoscopic fluorescence detection system. Hematoporphyrin-derivative fluorescence was not specific for carcinoma and was also detected in areas of moderate and marked squamous cellular atypia. Thus, although detection of hematoporphyrin-derivative fluorescence suggests the presence of cancer, proof depends on histologic or cytologic confirmation.

The Spectrum of Growth Abnormalities in Children with 18q Deletions

The objective of this study was to assess the spectrum of growth abnormalities in children with 18q deletions. The growth axis of 50 individuals with a cytogenetically and molecularly confirmed 18q deletion was investigated by determining height, growth velocity, insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I), IGF-binding protein-3, bone maturation, and response to pituitary stimulants of GH. Children with 18q deletions are short; 64% have a height more than -2 SD below the mean. Affected children also grow slowly; 68% have a growth velocity more than -1 SD below the mean. Half of the individuals have delayed bone maturation. Growth factors are skewed downward; 72% of the IGF-I values and 83% of the IGF-binding protein-3 values are below the mean for chronological age. Similarly, 72% of the children had a reduced or absent response to either of the GH stimulants, arginine and clonidine. In the total group of 50 children only 2 were normal for all parameters evaluated. Short stature and poor growth are common features of individuals with 18q deletions. GH deficiency is common in this cohort of patients and probably plays a role in the short stature seen in many of the affected individuals.

A Guide to Planting Wildflower Enhancements in Florida

The establishment of native wildflower plantings in Florida can benefit agricultural producers as well as native pollinators and other beneficial insects (predators and parasitoids). The plantings do this by: &#x0D; &#x0D; providing forage and nesting sites for bees, butterflies, and other pollinators,&#x0D; increasing wild bee numbers possibly across the farm, and&#x0D; increasing natural enemies of insect pests (that also depend on forage and nesting sites).&#x0D; &#x0D; This document discusses choosing the right mix of native plant species to benefit many pollinator species, as well as proper site selection, planting practices, and weed control techniques. Wildflower plots should be practical to manage, maximize benefits to wildlife, and fit into the overall management practices of the property.

A Method of Producing High-Quality Linear Field Gradient for Magnetic Resonance Imaging Using Straight Current Lines

A new method for generating a highly linear field gradient in a large space is described. The coil system consists of N equispaced parallel current lines placed on a cylinder perpendicular to the static magnetic field. The wires generate a gradient of any accuracy depending on N and in any direction in a plane perpendicular to the cylinder axis by controlling the current of each wire independently. The accuracy of the gradient using 16 infinite-length wires is less than 0.3% in the 60% region in diameter of the cylinder. An ESR-CT image of a DPPH test sample was obtained using this system of 16 wires.

A Comparison of Extreme and Ordinary Freezing Rain Events of Long Duration and High Integrated Vapor Transport in Eastern North America

Abstract Freezing rain events of long duration (LD; at least 12 h) in two study domains of eastern North America gleaned from the database of McCray et al. are examined using ERA5 reanalysis-based integrated water vapor transport (IVT) to investigate how parent cyclones with high IVT (HIVT; surrogate for atmospheric rivers) contribute to severe freezing rain events. Although not necessary for an LD freezing rain event to occur, HIVT-influenced parent cyclones are associated with most (70%) events occurring in the southeastern Canada/northeastern U.S. (CAUS) study domain and with the majority (78%) of very long (at least 24 h) LD events in the region over a 38-yr period (1979–2016). Comparing extreme and ordinary LD events involving HIVT-influenced parent cyclones over the CAUS and southeastern U.S. study domains shows the importance in extreme events of slow movement and phasing between the continental parent cyclone located over eastern North America and a corresponding midlatitude anticyclone to the northeast of the CAUS domain that provides cold dry air needed in the near-surface cold layer to offset opposing diabatic effects. A corresponding subtropical anticyclone assists the parent cyclone in supplying warm and humid air at midlevels of freezing rain events to the northern reaches of the study domain, extending spatial and temporal scales of extreme events. Most ordinary LD event parent cyclones are progressive and impact the study domain only briefly. An abrupt end of ordinary LD events having a slow-moving parent cyclone occurs either when its center moves over the study domain or a second, newly dominant cyclone emerges.

The Effects of Double Oscillation Exercise Combined with Elastic Band Exercise on Scapular Stabilizing Muscle Strength and Thickness in Healthy Young Individuals: A Randomized Controlled Pilot Trial.

This study aimed to investigate the effect of double oscillation exercise combined with elastic band exercise on the strength and thickness ratio of the scapular stabilizing muscles in healthy young individuals. A total of 30 subjects (17 male, 13 female) were randomly assigned to an elastic band exercise group (EBG) (n = 15) or an elastic band plus double oscillation exercise group (EB-DOG) (n = 15). A total of 28 subjects completed the experiment and evaluation. Patients in the EBG performed the elastic band exercise for shoulder flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, horizontal abduction/adduction, and internal/external rotation for 30 minutes/session, five times/week, for four weeks. Patients in the EB-DOG performed the elastic band exercise for 15 minutes and the double oscillation exercise in three planes of motion (frontal, sagittal, and transverse), using a Bodyblade® for 15 minutes/session, five times/week, for four weeks. Shoulder muscle strength was assessed using a manual muscle test device during maximal voluntary isometric contraction (MVIC), while the thicknesses of the scapular stabilizing muscles were assessed using rehabilitative ultrasound imaging both at rest and during MVIC. Both groups had significant effects on shoulder muscle strength, however, there was no significant difference between the two groups for change value of shoulder muscle strength (Bonferroni correction p < 0.005). Significant differences were observed in the group × time interactions for horizontal abduction, external rotation, and protraction. There was a statistically significant improvement in thickness ratio of LT and SA in the EB-DOG and no significant difference was founded in EBG (Bonferroni correction p < 0.006). In comparison between the two groups, EB-DOG showed a significant change in the thickness ratio of LT compared to EBG. In addition, significant differences were observed for the group × time interactions for the thickness ratio of the LT (F = 12.177, P = 0.002; Bonferroni correction p < 0.006). The double oscillation exercise combined with elastic band exercise more effectively increased the thickness of the shoulder stabilizing muscles compared with the resistance exercise alone.
