Abstract:

Abstract Maturation of some T cell populations has been suggested to occur in epithelial tissues. The CD8 molecule, which is expressed as heterodimers made of alpha/beta-chains on virtually all peripheral T cells, is preferentially expressed as homodimers made only of alpha-chains on a subset of CD8+ mouse gut intraepithelial lymphocytes, which arise from bone marrow (BM) precursors in a thymus-independent mechanism. This unique population of CD8 alpha+ beta- T cells, however, has not been identified in other lymphoid tissues in normal adult mice. Because our previous study demonstrated that r

Abstract:

The function of murine dendritic epidermal cells (dEC) remains largely speculative, probably because of the lack of a suitable in vivo model, although previous studies suggest that gamma/delta+ dEC may have originally evolved to serve as a self-protection mechanism(s). Our previous study demonstrated that the epidermis of mice that had spontaneously recovered from cutaneous graft-vs-host disease (GVHD) induced by local injection of CD4+ autoreactive T cells contained unexpectedly large numbers of dEC and became resistant to subsequent attempts to induce GVHD in a site-restricted manner, sugges

Abstract:

Diethylcarbamazine (DEC) is an inhibitor of lipoxygenase, with protective effects in several experimental models of anaphylaxis and lung dysfunction. The hypothesis of this study was that DEC would alter the pulmonary response to endotoxin infusion, especially the prolonged pulmonary hypertension, leukopenia, hypoxemia, and high flow of protein-rich lung lymph. We prepared sheep for chronic measurements of hemodynamics and collection of lung lymph. In paired studies we gave six sheep endotoxin (0.5 micrograms/kg iv) either with or without DEC. DEC was given (80–100 mg/kg iv) over 30 min follow

Abstract:

In this abstract I will focus on one particular topic which has widespread relevance in the quantitative analysis of CBED; namely the role of computer simulations of CBED patterns. The basic point is that with modern, high-powered workstations we can perform highly accurate and detailed simulations of all types of CBED patterns from crystals in a relatively short amount of time. Most CBED simulations are based on diagonalisation of the many-beam equations, and, for example, on a DEC Alpha workstation one can perform this calculation on a 150 × 150 matrix (sufficient for a highly accurate simul

Abstract Breast cancer is the most common cancer diagnosed in women worldwide and leads to 600,000+ deaths annually. The vast majority of breast cancer-related deaths are attributed to metastasis from the primary site in the breast to visceral organs or the brain. Therefore, understanding how these cells achieve metastasis is vital. Ion channels, such as the epithelial sodium channel (ENaC), are emerging as new targets for cancer research due to their role in regulating cell functions such as the process that allows cancer cells to undergo phenotypic changes necessary for metastasis.

Abstract:

This study investigates the possibility of using an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) for reconstructing Positron Emission Tomography (PET) images. The network is trained with simulated data which include physical effects such as attenuation and scattering. Once the training ends, the weights of the network are held constant. The network is able to reconstruct every type of source distribution contained inside the area mapped during the learning. The reconstruction of a simulated brain phantom in a noiseless case shows an improvement if compared with Filtered Back-Projection reconstruction (FBP)

Abstract Introduction Management of restless legs syndrome (RLS, aka Willis-Ekbom Disease) with dopaminergic agents is often complicated by development of augmentation. Clinical practice guidelines and stepwise algorithms suggest that prior to prescribing dopaminergic agents, clinicians should assess iron stores and consider alpha-2-delta agents (e.g. gabapentin). We developed an informatics approach to assess quality of care metrics for RLS management.

Four levels of shade (0%, 30%, 55%, and 80%) were used to determine their effect on growth and lignan content of american mayapple (Podophyllum peltatum L.). Mayapple rhizomes were harvested from the wild and transplanted into plant beds on 20 Dec. 2001 using a randomized complete block design with four blocks. Growth and lignan content were recorded during spring of 2002 and 2003. Leaf samples were analyzed for the following lignans: podophyllotoxin, alpha-peltatin, and beta-peltatin. Increasing levels of shade increased shoot longevity, leaf area per plant (cm2/plant), and shoot height. Shad

Abstract Background: There are few guidelines for the management of patients with both significant cardiac valvular disease and pheochromocytoma. Resection of pheochromocytoma is challenging for surgeons and anesthesiologists due to the potential for sudden releases of catecholamines causing significant hemodynamic effects. The cornerstone of perioperative management of pheochromocytoma involves alpha blockade to prevent the potential for hypertensive crisis from unopposed alpha-adrenergic vasoconstriction. Achieving adequate adrenergic blockade is challenging in patients with aortic stenosis

Abstract This study presents the evolution of the galaxies in different matter density along redshift within the local universe. A sample of 702,352 galaxies was collected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). Under the limitation of the spectroscopic data, the appropriate photometric redshift was used to represent the spectroscopic redshift in the range of 0.0 ≤ z ≤ 0.8. Number density of galaxies, galaxy’s colors, and star formation activities are considered to describe the evolution of galaxies. In summary, the number density is not clearly different although the Dec and RA of the sky a
