Abstract:

The HB-EGF gene has been shown to be highly inducible in a number of cell types <I>in vitro</I> but the mechanisms involved are not well defined. This question was addressed using an epithelial cell line derived from rat intestine (RIE-1). HB-EGF mRNA expression can be rapidly and transiently induced by agonists that act through distinct receptor types. HB-EGF mRNA expression could be induced independently of protein synthesis, thus defining the HB-EGF gene as a primary response gene in these cells. Agonist-induced HB-EGF mRNA expression was found to occur via both protein kinase C (PKC)-depen

Abstract:

Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) is a growth factor promoting survival, proliferation and differentiation of neural crest cells. Neural crest cells play an important role within mesenchymal tissues during dental pulp and calvarial bone development. GDNF also has a role within non-neuronal tissues and is expressed during dental development. GDNF null mutations prevent the formation of the mineralised hard tissues of the tooth. The hypothesis for this study was that GDNF affects mesenchymal dental pulp cells (DPC), promoting the regenerative responses of mineralised tissues. Th

Abstract:

Alveolar macrophages reside in the healthy airspaces and are continuously exposed to environmental challenges. As such, mechanisms are in place to restrict their activity, including negative regulation by epithelial cells. Upon encountering a harmful pathogen, this inhibition is lost and pattern recognition receptors, such as toll-like receptors (TLRs), are activated. This stimulates the release of type I interferons, which exert anti-microbial actions on airway cells. The importance of neurotrophic factors in the immune response is becoming well established. However, research into their role

Since January 2001 it has been necessary for equipment connected to the low voltage public distribution network in Europe and Japan to comply with IEC 61000-3-2. The regulation IEC 61000-3-2 specifies the level of current that can be drawn for particular harmonics. Much equipment today is fitted with a Switch Mode Power Supply (SMPS) at its input to interface between the line voltage and internal low voltage electronics. This SMPS must not only convert the line voltage, but also ensure that the input current to the device meets the IEC regulations. To meet these regulations two methods are nor

Abstract:

The basic helix-loop-helix protein, activated B-cell factor-l (ABF-l), is a transcription factor involved in cellular proliferation and differentiation. ABF-1 shows patterns of expression that are stimulated in activated B cells, which may suggest ABF-1 is involved in the regulation of B-cell differentiation. To investigate the functional role of ABF-1, we have generated a human plasmacytoma cell line with inducible expression of ABF-1. We were able to induce expression of ABF-1 by using the tetracycline repressor system (teton/off). With addition of tetracycline we were able to stimulate the

In an effort to study genes in B-cells regulated by ABF- 1, I have attempted to construct a Burkitt Lymphoma cell line allowing tetracycline regulated expression of ABF-1.

This project was focused on characterising the cleavage and possible nuclear translocation of FGFR2 in endometrial cancer cells. Several new cancer drugs targeting FGFR2 are in clinical trials and yet little is known about this receptor. In this project, we utilized a tagged FGFR2 and detected a novel form of receptor cleavage but no nuclear entry. A protein called ADAM9 had been shown to cleave FGFR2 in bone cells, but this project went on to rule out ADAM9 as involved in FGFR2 cleavage in cancer cells. Ongoing studies are needed to understand the importance of this receptor cleavage in cance

Abstract:

Transmission line is a crucial role in power transmission network which connects generating units to consumers. Some unpredicted failure events such as lightening or system faults can cause transmission line tripped, which may bring about a large interruption to the system and causes damage. When line outage happens, the power flow on the tripped line will be redistributed to the rest of lines in the system. It may cause risk of overload happens on other lines, and results in a cascading failure and system collapse. Reasonably, a single line outage will not affect all other lines in the system

Abstract:

碩士<br>國立中正大學<br>電機工程研究所<br>87<br>The high skirt-factor RF filters are studied and implemented with the microstrip line. Two bandpass filters (3.4~4.7GHz & 4.7~6.5GHz) and one lowpass filter (0~3GHz) are analyzed with image impedance theory, Richard''s transform, and Kuroda identities. The filters are implemented with shunt-stub microstrip lines, and the experimental results show the accuracy and ease of use of the design method. Another narrow-band BPF is analyzed with coupled cavity theory and implemented with conventional hairpin, miniaturized hairpin and square-open-loop microstrip structur

Abstract:

博士<br>國防醫學院<br>生命科學研究所<br>89<br>Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) is a member of the transforming growth factor superfamily and is suggested to be a specific neurotrophic factor for midbrain dopamine (DA) neurons. Both in vitro and in vivo studies have shown that GDNF protects DA neurons against toxin-induced damage. GDNF has also been reported to trigger fiber outgrowth of transplanted fetal mesencephalic grafts and to stimulate the regeneration of DA fibers resulted from DA neuron toxin 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium (MPP+)-induced damage. Although there are many reports showin

Abstract:

碩士<br>義守大學<br>電子工程學系碩士班<br>99<br>The soft board industry still adopt the wet etching process nowadays. The wet etching process will produce the question of circuit profile undercut. There will have an isotropic relation with occurring of the undercut and the etching process. The (CuCl2) solution characteristics are investigated in this thesis by experiments with four different parameters according to the etching principles. The four different parameters are: 1. density 、 2.40~60℃ temperature、3. 1.5kg and 2.0kg pressures、4. speed. The etching ability will change with different combinations of
