Antitumor activity of the retinoid-related molecules (E)-3-(4'-hydroxy-3'-adamantylbiphenyl-4-yl)acrylic acid (ST1926) and 6-[3-(1-adamantyl)-4-hydroxyphenyl]-2-naphthalene carboxylic acid (CD437) in F9 teratocarcinoma : Role of retinoic acid receptor gamma and retinoid-independent pathways

The retinoid-related molecules (RRMs) ST1926 [(E)-3-(4'-hydroxy-3'-adamantylbiphenyl-4-yl)acrylic acid] and CD437 (6-[3-(1-adamantyl)-4-hydroxyphenyl]-2-naphthalene carboxylic acid) are promising anticancer agents. We compared the retinoic acid receptor (RAR) trans-activating properties of the two RRMs and all-trans-retinoic acid (ATRA). ST1926 and CD437 are better RARgamma agonists than ATRA. We

New drugs from the sea

This paper illustrates some biochemical and pharmacological properties of two natural marine products such as trabectedin (ET-743, Yondelis) and aplidine. Trabectedin has shown clinical antitumor activity in refractory soft tissue sarcoma and ovarian cancer. The lack of cross resistance of trabectedin with other chemotherapeutic drugs is presumably related to its peculiar mode of action, that seem

Hardware Implementation of Baseband Processing for Massive MIMO

In the near future, the number of connected mobile devices and data-rates are expected to dramatically increase. Demands exceed the capability of the currently deployed (4G) wireless communication systems. Development of 5G systems is aiming for higher data-rates, better coverage, backward compatibility, and conforming with “green communication” to lower energy consumption. Massive Multiple-Input

Jerusalem in Tønsberg : Round Churches and Storytelling

Remains of a basilican round church were discovered in 1877–78 in Tønsberg, Norway, and identified as the Premonstratensian monastery church of Saint Olav. The round church has been interpreted as fortified with several floors using Nylars on Bornholm in Denmark as a model – or as symbolic copy of Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem, although Templar churches have also been mentioned as models. The church

Experimental and numerical analysis of adhesion failure in moist packaging material during excessive heating

In the presented paper experimental and numerical analyses are made of the failure due to blister formation in moist packaging material when exposed to excessive heating. The basic concept of the experimental analysis is to expose a package material to a hot air jet and measure the time until the material experience internal failure. For the numerical analysis, a triphasic macroscale hybrid mixtur

Spillovers from targeting of incentives : Exploring responses to being excluded

A growing set of policies involve transfers conditioned upon socially desired actions, such as attending school or conserving forest. However, given a desire to maximize the impact of limited funds by avoiding transfers that do not change behavior, typically some potential recipients are excluded on the basis of their characteristics, their actions or at random. This paper uses a laboratory experi

Development of the gastrointestinal tract in young mammals : Effects of enteral provocation with protease or phytohaemagglutinin in neonatal rats

Råttan är en däggdjursart med en kort dräktighetstiden och föds därför mycket omogen. Den är vid födelsen naken, blind och döv och är helt beroende av sin moder för många funktioner, såsom näringstillförsel, termoreglering, urinering och tarmtömning. Under diperioden är råttans mag-tarmsystem och matsmältning helt anpassad till modersmjölkdieten. Bland annat är tarmens barriärfunktion omogen, vilkThe rat, as an altritial species, is born with an immature gastrointestinal tract and intestinal barrier function, which is highly absorptive to milk-borne bioactive molecules that can pass undigested and reach the general circulation of the suckling newborn. This passage occurs by the neonatal-Fc-receptor (FcRn) binding and trancytosis of immunoglobulin G in the proximal small intestine (SI) and

Clinical Correlates of Benefit From Radium-223 Therapy in Metastatic Castration Resistant Prostate Cancer

BACKGROUND: We sought to identify potential clinical variables associated with outcomes after radium-223 therapy in routine practice. METHODS: Consecutive non-trial mCRPC patients who received ≥1 dose of radium dichloride-223 at four academic and one community urology-specific cancer centers from May 2013 to June 2014 were retrospectively identified. Association of baseline and on-therapy clinical

Painfully Energetic : A tale of two proteins potentially connected

Varje cell har ett membran som skapar en gräns mot omvärlden och skyddarcellen. Men cellen måste alltjämt utbyta viktiga molekyler med omvärlden för attöverleva. Därför finns specialiserade proteiner, som sitter i membranen och utgörportar i denna barriär. Denna avhandling fokuserar på två membranproteiner, enprotonpump och en jonkanal.Varje dag i våra liv använder vi hjärnan, muskler och hjärtat.NADH:quinone oxidoreductase (Complex I) is the first enzyme of the respiratory chain and is involved in energy conservation generating an electro-chemical gradient across a membrane. The enzyme can be divided into a membrane spanning domain and a hydrophilic domain, which protrudes from the membrane. In the hydrophilic domain electrons from NADH oxidation are transported via a wire of iron-sulfur

Back to basics : Using colour polymorphisms to study evolutionary processes

Here, I suggest that colour polymorphic study systems have been underutilized to answer general questions about evolutionary processes, such as morph frequency dynamics between generations and population divergence in morph frequencies. Colour polymorphisms can be used to study fundamental evolutionary processes like frequency-dependent selection, gene flow, recombination and correlational selecti

Structural analysis and the process of economic development : essays in memory of Lennart Schön

Economic development is full of discontinuities. Mainstream economists perceive these as external disturbances to a natural state of equilibrium, but this book argues that much of the discontinuities are part of economic development, suggesting that patterns can be understood with structural analysis.Structural Analysis and the Process of Economic Development presents a detailed analysis of the tr

A rapid method for selecting suitable animal species for studying pathogen interactions with plasma protein ligands in vivo

Species tropism constitutes a serious problem for developing relevant animal models of infection. Human pathogens can express virulence factors that show specific selectivity to human proteins, while their affinity for orthologs from other species can vary significantly. Suitable animal species must be used to analyse whether virulence factors are potential targets for drug development. We develop

Short-term ammonium supply induces cellular defence to prevent oxidative stress in Arabidopsis leaves

Plants can assimilate nitrogen from soil pools of both ammonium and nitrate, and the relative levels of these two nitrogen sources are highly variable in soil. Long-term ammonium nutrition is known to cause damage to Arabidopsis that has been linked to mitochondrial oxidative stress. Using hydroponic cultures, we analysed the consequences of rapid shifts between nitrate and ammonium nutrition. Thi

On the Monte Carlo Description of Hot Carrier Effects and Device Characteristics of III-N LEDs

Recent experiments have suggested that high energy charge carriers can have a significant effect on the operation of group III nitride (III-N) light-emitting diodes (LEDs), possibly playing an important role in the efficiency droop. As hot carriers are not accounted for by device simulation tools based on drift-diffusion (DD) and quasiequilibrium conditions, more advanced tools are needed. Here, f

Kinetic and mechanistic study on the reactions of ruthenium(II) chlorophenyl terpyridine complexes with nucleobases, oligonucleotides and DNA

In this study, we investigated the ability of Ru(ii) polypyridyl complexes to act as DNA binders. The substitution reactions of three Ru(ii) chlorophenyl terpyridine complexes, i.e. [Ru(Cl-Ph-tpy)(en)Cl]Cl (1), [Ru(Cl-Ph-tpy)(dach)Cl]Cl (2) and [Ru(Cl-Ph-tpy)(bpy)Cl]Cl (3) (Cl-Ph-tpy = 4′-(4-chlorophenyl)-2,2′:6′,2′′-terpyridine, en = 1,2-diaminoethane, dach = 1,2-diaminocyclohexane, bpy = 2,2′-bi

Automatic Construction of Linear Stochastic Dynamic Models For Stationary Industrial Processes with Random Disturbances Using Operating Records

We describe a new technique for automatic identification of stationary, linear systems with a single output. This class of models includes all linear, time-invariant, stochastic, difference equations driven by arbitrary inputs and having stationary, normal disturbances with rational spectra.The parameters of the model are estimated by the method of maximum likelihood.
