Effects of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons on proliferation, collagen secretion and viability of arterial smooth muscle cells in culture
Previous reports have suggested a role for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. Therefore, the effects of benzpyren (BP) and dimethylbenzanthracene (DMBA) on the arterial smooth muscle cell (SMC) in culture were studied. DMBA increased the proliferation of bovine and rabbit SMC but not of human embryonal fibroblasts or human SMC. BP did not significantly influen
Early metabolic markers identify potential targets for the prevention of type 2 diabetes
Aims/hypothesis: The aims of this study were to evaluate systematically the predictive power of comprehensive metabolomics profiles in predicting the future risk of type 2 diabetes, and to identify a panel of the most predictive metabolic markers. Methods: We applied an unbiased systems medicine approach to mine metabolite combinations that provide added value in predicting the future incidence of
Completion dissection or observation for sentinel-node metastasis in melanoma
BACKGROUND Sentinel-lymph-node biopsy is associated with increased melanoma-specific survival (i.e., survival until death from melanoma) among patients with node-positive intermediatethickness melanomas (1.2 to 3.5 mm). The value of completion lymph-node dissection for patients with sentinel-node metastases is not clear. METHODS In an international trial, we randomly assigned patients with sentine
Gonadotropin-releasing hormone and its role in the enteric nervous system
Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), follicle-stimulating hormone, and luteinizing hormone orchestrate the reproduction cycle and regulate the sex steroid secretion from the gonads. In mammals, GnRH1 is secreted as a hormone from the hypothalamus, whereas both GnRH1 and GnRH2 are present as neurotransmitters/peptides in various tissues, where the peptides exert many different effects. mRNA codin
Gendering of day center occupations as perceived by people with psychiatric disabilities in Sweden
Background: The aim was to explore the experiences and views of people attending day centers for people with psychiatric disabilities concerning the occurrence and nature of gendering of the occupations performed there. Methods: Twenty-five day center attendees were interviewed regarding occupational choices at the day centers, whether they would describe day center occupations as gendered, and if
Negative anti-neutrophil cytoplasm antibody at switch to maintenance therapy is associated with a reduced risk of relapse
Background: Relapse of disease is frequent in anti-neutrophil cytoplasm antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV). It is unclear whether persistent ANCA when starting maintenance therapy increases the risk of relapse. We examined the association between ANCA status and relapse in two randomised controlled trials. Methods: ANCA-positive patients in two trials, CYCLOPS and IMPROVE, were switched f
Recommendations for cerebrospinal fluid collection for the analysis by ELISA of neurogranin trunc P75, α-synuclein, and total tau in combination with Aβ(1-42)/Aβ(1-40)
Background: The pathophysiology of neurodegeneration is complex. Its diagnosis requires an early identification of sequential changes in several hallmarks in the brains of affected subjects. The presence of brain pathology can be visualized in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) by protein profiling. It is clear that the field of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) will benefit from an integration of algorithms in
Increased cardiovascular mortality in people with schizophrenia : a 24-year national register study
Aims: People who have schizophrenia die earlier from somatic diseases than do people in the general population, but information about cardiovascular deaths in people who have schizophrenia is limited. We analysed mortality in all age groups of people with schizophrenia by specific cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), focusing on five CVD diagnoses: coronary heart disease, acute myocardial infarction, c
Challenging the mystique Connection. Deciphering cell-matrix interactions role in atherosclerosis and restenosis.
Atherosclerosis is the underlying cause for myocardal infarction, stroke and peripheral arterial disease, collectively referred to as cardiovascular diseases. These represent the major cause of death globally. Phenotypic modulationof vascular smooth muscle cells form a contractile to a synthetic state and subsequent migration into the intima, isone of the prime events that marks the genesis of ath
β-Sarcoglycan Deficiency Reduces Atherosclerotic Plaque Development in ApoE-Null Mice
Background: Smooth muscle cells are important for atheroscleroticplaque stability. Their proper ability to communicatewith the extracellular matrix is crucial for maintainingthe correct tissue integrity. In this study, we have investigatedthe role of β-sarcoglycan within the matrix-binding dystrophin-glycoproteincomplex in the development of atherosclerosis.Results: Atherosclerotic plaque developm

This study attempted to give a vision through which we can analyze narrative texts in artistic way bearing in mind their internal production conditions in addition to transformation trait which is related existentially to textual transformation. This is why it is called so. Thus textual transformation includes smaller transformations starting from the surface structure of the text, the place, the

Impact of Ph.D. training: a comprehensive analysis based on a Japanese national doctoral survey
Ph.D. training in academic labs offers the foundation for the production of knowledge workers, indispensable for the modern knowledge-based society. Nonetheless, our understanding on Ph.D. training has been insufficient due to limited access to the inside of academic labs. Furthermore, early careers of Ph.D. graduates are often difficult to follow, which makes the evaluation of training effects ch
