Published 1989Staff ViewISSN: 1089-7550Source: AIP Digital ArchiveTopics: PhysicsNotes: Comparison of x-ray photoemission results for single crystal and polycrystalline YBa2Cu3O7−x allows us to identify oxygen vacancies in the Cu-O chains and determine their effects on the Cu, Ba, and Y core level line shapes. The deposition of adatoms of Ag onto single crystals of YBa2Cu3O7−x and Bi2Ca1+xSr2−xCu2O8+y leads to changes in the Cu 2p3/2 emission indicative of slight Cu2+ to Cu1+ surface reduction, with greater modification for the 1-2-3's than the 2-1-2-2's. O 1s core level results show Ag-induced broadening because of these surface effects. The Ba 3d and Y 3d structures showed minimal changes for the 1-2-3 surface. Ag deposition onto the 2-1-2-2 samples also leads to Bi dissociation and subsequent surface segregation.Type of Medium: Electronic ResourceURL: -

Published 1992Staff ViewISSN: 1365-2222Source: Blackwell Publishing Journal Backfiles 1879-2005Topics: MedicineNotes: Azelastine, a phthalazinone derivative, is a new potent, long acting, orally active anti-allergic compound with particularly strong H1-histamine receptor antagonistic effects which has been proven to possess in vitro and in vivo a number of anti-inflammatory properties. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether azelastine would be able to prevent and/or reverse the seasonal increase in non-specific bronchial responsiveness to methacholine in pollen allergic patients. Twelve atopic patients (5 males, mean age 31 years), skin positive exclusively to grass and/or Parietaria pollen extract, with rhinitis and mild asthma occurring in the spring for at least two years previously, were studied. After a 2 week run-in period, oral azelastine, 4 mg twice daily, or placebo, was given for 2 weeks from the start of the pollen season, according to a randomized, double-blind design. After 2 weeks, the treatments were crossed over. During both the run-in and study periods, patients recorded rhinitis and asthma symptoms, additional antihistamine and bronchodilator drugs taken and peak expiratory flow measurements. A methacholine inhalation test was carried out on four occasions in each patient: before the run-in period, before the start of the treatment, and at the end of the two 2 week treatment periods. Azelastine significantly reduced rhinitis symptoms and the need for antihistamine drugs, whereas asthmatic symptoms, use of bronchodilator drugs, peak flow recordings and bronchial responsiveness to methacholine were unaffected by the treatment. Compliance level and adverse side-effects were not significantly different between active treatment and placebo. In the final subjective evaluation of the two treatments, eight out of 12 patients preferred azelastine. Thus, azelastine has been confirmed to be effective and safe in the treatment of seasonal allergic rhinitis. However, in our patients, we have not been able to demonstrate any anti-asthmatic action of the drug.Type of Medium: Electronic ResourceURL: -

Published 2003Staff ViewISSN: 1365-2559Source: Blackwell Publishing Journal Backfiles 1879-2005Topics: MedicineNotes: Aims: Tumour cell behaviour depends on the interactions between nuclear genetic changes in the malignant cells and a stroma favourable for growth, invasion and metastasis. To evaluate such interactions, we studied the relationship between tumour cell and stromal features for proliferative factors, p53, microvessel density and metalloproteinases, controlled for the extent of the primary lesion (T1 to T4), in early (non-metastatic) and late (metastatic) non-small cell lung carcinomas (NSCLC).Methods and results: Variables were examined for differences and correlations in the frequency of p53, AgNOR, CD34 and MMP-9 expression in primary lesions and metastases of NSCLC using a general linear model. The patients included 58 males and 22 females (mean age 62 ± 9 years) with 19 T1 (23.8%), 40 T2 (50.0%), 14 T3 (17.5%) and seven T4 (8.8%). In late disease, AgNOR and p53 were statistically related to the extent of the primary lesion, whereas in early disease AgNOR tended to be increased in tumours without metastasis, while p53 expression tended to decrease progressively in tumours with metastasis. Microvessel density in late disease was of no statistical significance, whereas in early disease strong CD34 expression was seen in tumours with metastasis, being at its maximum in T3 primary lesions. The best marker for the extent of the lesion and its progression was MMP-9, with greater expression by tumours with metastasis than those without.Conclusions: Different tumour cell and stromal interactions control metastasis and therefore the biological risk of NSCLC. A panel of molecular markers, such as p53, MMP-9 and CD34 could help to identify subgroups of patients that could benefit from adjuvant therapy.Type of Medium: Electronic ResourceURL: -

Functional results may differ with different pouch designs. This randomized study aimed to evaluate the relative effectiveness of two-limb J and four-limb W reservoir designs in the so-called maturation period after ileostomy closure. METHODS: Twenty-four patients underwent ileal pouch-anal anastomosis for ulcerative colitis. Eleven were randomly assigned to the J-pouch group and 13 to the W-pouch group. Frequency of defecation and other functional data were collected at 4, 8, and 12 months after ileostomy closure. Maximum tolerated volume was assessed in the same period by a latex balloon inflated with water. Maximum resting anal pressure, maximum voluntary contraction, and the rectoanal inhibitory reflex were assessed in the preoperative period and at 4, 8, and 12 months after ileostomy closure. RESULTS: Frequency of defecation decreased from 4 to 12 months after ileostomy closure in both groups (P=0.04), but patients with a W-pouch had significantly lower values than patients with J-pouches (P〈0.01). Night-time defecation (P=0.04) and use of antidiarrheals (P=0.04) were significantly lower for patients with a W-pouch. Maximum tolerated volume was greater in the W-pouch group throughout the whole period (P=0.01). Maximum resting anal pressure, maximum voluntary contraction, and rectoanal inhibitory reflex did not differ between the study arms CONCLUSION: Patients with W-pouch have better functional results than those with J-pouches in the “maturation period” after ileostomy closure.Type of Medium: Electronic ResourceURL: -

Nodular hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is characterized by the presence of a pseudocapsule (constructed usually from connective fibrous tissue) that appears hypointense on T1- and T2-weighted spin-echo (SE) and gradient-echo (GE) MR imaging sequences without a contrast medium. The presence of vascular structures inside the tumor, which are verified by histological exam, affects enhancement of the PC after administrating the contrast medium: The impregnation is more evident in the dynamic study but also persists on the delayed T1-weighted SE images. The accuracy of MR in detecting the pseudocapsule of HCC and contrast enhancement of the pseudocapsule during dynamic studies were evaluated and related to pathological findings. Thirty-seven HCC were examined in 33 patients and afterwards resected. In capsulated nodules, besides usual hematoxylin, eosin, and trichrome stainings, histochemical and immunohistochemical methods were performed. On a 1.5-T MR unit, T1- and T2-weighted SE and GE FLASH 2D sequences after intravenous injection of Gd-DTPA (dynamic study) were used. In a later phase, T1-weighted SE sequences were repeated. Histologically, the pseudocapsule (thickness 0.2–6 mm) was present in 26 of 37 nodules (70 %). The dynamic study was the most suitable technique to show the pseudocapsule, which was recognized in 80.7 % (21 of 26 nodules). In 5 of 26 cases, the pseudocapsule, not demonstrated by MR, was thinner than 0.4 mm. In 16 of 21 cases, in the early portal phase (30–60 s), the pseudocapsule had an early enhancement, which was more evident later; in 5 of 21 cases the enhancement was observed only in the late portal phase (1–2 min). At histological examination, 14 of 16 pseudocapsules with early enhancement showed a more prominent vasculature than those with enhancement in the equilibrium phase. Magnetic resonance was a reliable tool in demonstrating the pseudocapsule of HCC. The histological examination demonstrated a good correlation between the enhancement behavior and the vessel number of the pseudocapsule.Type of Medium: Electronic ResourceURL: -

ISSN: 1439-0973Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000Topics: MedicineDescription / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Im Jahr 1982 wurden in 53 italienischen Krankenhäusern 8604 Fälle von akuter Virushepatitis stationär behandelt, 379 Fälle von Post-Transfusions-Hepatitis, 262 Fälle von postoperativer Hepatitis und 4576 Fälle ohne Vorgeschichte einer parenteralen Exposition. Bei 57,8% der Fälle von Post-Transfusions-Hepatitis wurden NANB-Viren, bei 39,0% HBV und bei 3,2% HAV nachgewiesen. CMV und EBV waren für weniger als 1,5% der Fälle verantwortlich. HBV war der häufigste Erreger der postoperativen Hepatitis (62,2% der Fälle), nur 6,1% der Fälle wurden durch HAV ausgelöst. Bei Patienten ohne Vorgeschichte einer parenteralen Exposition war dagegen die Hepatitis A am häufigsten. In der Gruppe der Patienten mit B-Hepatitis und NANB-Hepatitis war der Prozentsatz an Patienten mit Bluttransfusion oder Operation in der Vorgeschichte immer höher als bei Patienten mit A-Hepatitis; daraus läßt sich folgern, daß ein chirurgischer Eingriff ohne Bluttransfusion ebenfalls ein Risiko für die Akquisition einer Hepatitis vom Typ B oder NANB darstellt. Im ätiologischen Muster der Post-Transfusions-Hepatitis und der postoperativen Hepatitis waren keine regionalen Unterschiede fetzustellen. Bei Patienten, die nach Bluttransfusion an einer Hepatitis erkrankten, war der akute Verlauf bei B-Hepatitis gemessen an den höheren Bilirubinspiegeln im Serum und ALT-Spiegeln sowie höherer Letalität schwerer als bei der Hepatitis vom NANB-Typ.Notes: Summary Among the 8,604 cases of acute viral hepatitis hospitalized during 1982 in 53 Italian hospitals, we studied 379 cases of post-transfusion hepatitis, 262 cases which occurred after surgery and 4,576 cases with no history of parenteral exposure. The etiological agents of post-transfusion hepatitis were NANB viruses in 57.8%, HBV in 39.0% and HAV in 3.2% of the cases. CMV and EBV accounted for less than 1.5% of the post-transfusion hepatitis cases. HBV was the main etiological agent (62.2% of the cases) in the post-surgical hepatitis group, where HAV accounted for only 6.1% of the cases. In contrast, in the group with no history of parenteral exposure, hepatitis A was most frequent. Percentages of patients with history of transfusion or surgery were always higher in type B and NANB hepatitis than in type A, suggesting that surgery without transfusion also represents a risk of acquiring type B and NANB hepatitis. No regional differences were observed in the etiological patterns of post-transfusion hepatitis and post-surgical hepatitis. The acute phase of type B post-transfusion hepatitis was more severe than that of NANB post-transfusion hepatitis, as shown by higher serum bilirubin and ALT levels and by a higher case fatality rate.Type of Medium: Electronic ResourceURL: -

At ordinary pressure, the compounds are thermally stable up to the melting points. After melting, they show high vapor pressure, combustion in O2 atmosphere and isomerization to ammonium thiocyanate, with the exception of Me4Tu.Type of Medium: Electronic ResourceURL: -

ISSN: 1617-4623Keywords: α-Globin domain ; Hypersensitive sites ; Locus control region ; Chromatin structureSource: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000Topics: BiologyNotes: Abstract The distribution of DNase I hypersensitive sites upstream of the chicken α-globin gene cluster was studied. A group of hypersensitive sites with a complex pattern of tissue specificity, including erythroid-specific elements, was found at a distance of 11.5–14.5 kb upstream of the π gene, the first gene in the cluster. The observations indicate that this area, located upstream of the block of AT-rich sequences and MAR sites (at −8 kb) and upstream of the site of permanent DNA attachment to the nuclear matrix (−3 kb), still belongs to the domain of the α-globin genes.Type of Medium: Electronic ResourceURL: -

This protein has been partially characterized. Based on its molecular weight and binding affinity, F6 belongs to a family of GATA proteins, the chicken equivalent of transcription factor NFE-1. An oligonucleotide including the binding site for F6 competes for binding of the above-mentioned DNA fragment to the nuclear matrix. This indicates an involvement of this protein in the interaction between DNA and the nuclear matrix.Type of Medium: Electronic ResourceURL: -

ISSN: 1573-7284Keywords: Post-transfusion hepatitis ; Post-surgery hepatitis ; Analysis risk factorsSource: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000Topics: MedicineNotes: Abstract The role of surgery as an additional risk in transmitting ≪ post-transfusion ≫ hepatitis was investigated in a retrospective study on acute hepatitis occurring in 77 transfused patients, 293 transfused and operated patients and 243 hepatitis cases with history of surgery without transfusion. Hepatitis A patients admitted to the same centres in the same period were utilized as controls. In transfused patients the percentage of NANB hepatitis was higher than that of type B (61.0% vs. 36.4%), while in the operated not transfused group the percentage of type B was twice that of type NANB (63.4% vs. 32.5%). In transfused and operated cases intermediate values were observed. The age-adjusted measures of association between exposures and the different hepatitis types showed a lack of effect of transfusion and a dominant role of surgery in transmitting type B hepatitis. In contrast, NANB ≪ post-transfusional ≫ cases were actually a mixture of post-transfusional and post-surgical cases, since both these exposures were found to be significantly associated with the disease. Our results suggest that studies on the incidence and the etiology of post-transfusion hepatitis should take into account the risk of surgical exposure which might have occurred.Type of Medium: Electronic ResourceURL: -

ISSN: 1572-9575Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000Topics: PhysicsNotes: Abstract A new red shift mechanism is proposed based on a succession of hyperfine atomic Raman interactions of a photon with hydrogen atoms. The possibility that this atomic Raman effect may be the cause of any given astronomically observed red shift can be observationally tested as follows. The hydrogen 21 cm line from the same source willnot be shifted by this hyperfine interaction (since it is a resonance process), while visible and ultraviolet lines are shifted.Type of Medium: Electronic ResourceURL:
