Although demographic characteristics distinguished all trajectory classes , adverse health characteristics distinguished the overweight and obese classes from the normal-weight class , but not from each other .

Problems associated with education and health are present at study entry and should be addressed earlier in life .

Molecular dynamics ( MD ) simulations of the single-stranded DNA trinucleotide TG*G* , with the G* guanines crosslinked by the antitumor drug cisplatin , were performed with explicit representation of the water as solvent .
[ 7 ]
22947917_1
The purpose of the simulations was to explain previous NMR observations indicating that in single-stranded cisplatin-DNA adducts , the crosslinked guanines adopt a left-handed helical orientation , whereas in duplexes , the orientation is right-handed .
[ 7 ]
22947917_2
The analysis of the MD trajectory of TG*G* has ascribed a crucial role to hydrogen-bonding ( direct or through-water ) interactions of the 5'-oriented NH(3) ligand of platinum with acceptor groups at the 5'-side of the crosslink , namely the TpG* phosphate and the terminal 5'-OH group .

These interactions bring about some strain into the trinucleotide which is slightly but significantly ( 1-1.5 kcal.mol(-1) ) higher for the right-handed orientation than for the left-handed one .

During the unconstrained , 3 ns long MD simulation , left-handed conformations were times more abundant than the right-handed ones .
[ 7 ]

This sampling difference agrees roughly with the calculated energy difference in strain energy .
[ 7 ]
22947917_6
Overall , these results show that the Pt-GG crosslink within single-stranded DNA is malleable and can access different conformations at a moderate energy cost .
[ 7 ]

This malleability could be of importance in interactions between the platinated DNA and cellular proteins , in which the DNA is locally unwound .

An in vitro angiogenesis system was designed for screening angiogenic agonists and antagonists .

In order to obtain large quantities of cells and reproducibility , human endothelial cells with extended life spans were developed by retroviral transfection .
[ 7 ]
12549857_2
The resulting cells grown in a serum-free medium containing endothelial cell growth supplement ( ECGS ) have a telomerase activity , extended life spans of at least 21 passages , and an endothelial cell phenotype ( diI-acetylated-LDL upake , factor VIII-related antigen , VEGFR-1 and R-2 , and tissue-type plasminogen activator ( tPA) ) that resembled that of unaltered primary endothelial cells .
[ 8 ]
12549857_3
Exceptions were ( i ) a higher expression of tPA , and ( ii ) a non-significant growth response to FGF-2 or VEGF stimulation .
[ 8 ]
12549857_4
Within three-dimensional fibrin gels , specific cell clones rapidly formed tubular structures in a more reproducible manner than those observed with low-passage primary cells .
[ 7 ]
12549857_5
Tube formation by primary endothelial cells and those with extended life spans was dependent upon FGF-2 and ECGS , respectively .
[ 7 ]
12549857_6
Both cell types produced FGF-2 and VEGF cytokines .

Increasing doses of suramin significantly decreased the size of microvessels formed by both cell lines .

These functional results indicate that a vascular matrix system containing human cells with extended life spans can be successfully utilized as an in vitro assay for antiangiogenic compounds .
