BACKGROUND: Primary central mucoepidermoid carcinoma of jaws is a rare lesion comprising 2-3% of all mucoepidermoid carcinomas reported in literature. CASE PRESENTATION: The case presented here illustrates the hypothesis that its specific pathogenesis is unknown. CONCLUSIONS: Mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the jaw is a rare tumour of unknown aetiology. Although about a 100 cases has been reported in literature, the speculation on its aetiopathogenesis has mainly centred on the pluripotential capabilities of the epithelial lining of odontogenic cysts. 相似文献

Processing of viral envelope glycoprotein by the endomannosidase pathway: evaluation of host cell specificity 总被引:4,自引:2,他引:2
Endo-alpha-D-mannosidase is an enzyme involved in N-linked oligosaccharide
processing which through its capacity to cleave the internal linkage
between the glucose-substituted mannose and the remainder of the
polymannose carbohydrate unit can provide an alternate pathway for
achieving deglucosylation and thereby make possible the continued formation
of complex oligosaccharides during a glucosidase blockade. In view of the
important role which has been attributed to glucose on nascent
glycoproteins as a regulator of a number of biological events, we chose to
further define the in vivo action of endomannosidase by focusing on the
well characterized VSV envelope glycoprotein (G protein) which can be
formed by the large array of cell lines susceptible to infection by this
pathogen. Through an assessment of the extent to which the G protein was
converted to an endo-beta-N- acetylglucosaminidase (endo H)-resistant form
during a castanospermine imposed glucosidase blockade, we found that
utilization of the endomannosidase-mediated deglucosylation route was
clearly host cell specific, ranging from greater than 90% in HepG2 and PtK1
cells to complete absence in CHO, MDCK, and MDBK cells, with intermediate
values in BHK, BW5147.3, LLC-PK1, BRL, and NRK cell lines. In some of the
latter group the electrophoretic pattern after endo H treatment suggested
that only one of the two N-linked oligosaccharides of the G protein was
processed by endomannosidase. In the presence of the specific
endomannosidase inhibitor, Glcalpha1-->3(1- deoxy)mannojirimycin, the
conversion of the G protein into an endo H- resistant form was completely
arrested. While the lack of G protein processing by CHO cells was
consistent with the absence of in vitro measured endomannosidase activity
in this cell line, the failure of MDBK and MDCK cells to convert the G
protein into an endo H-resistant form was surprising since these cell lines
have substantial levels of the enzyme. Similarly, we observed that
influenza virus hemagglutinin was not processed in castanospermine-treated
MDCK cells. Our findings suggest that studies which rely on glucosidase
inhibition to explore the function of glucose in controlling such critical
biological phenomena as intracellular movement or quality control should be
carried out in cell lines in which the glycoprotein under study is not a
substrate for endomannosidase action.

Performance analysis of MPI collective operations 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Previous studies of application usage show that the performance of collective communications are critical for high-performance
computing. Despite active research in the field, both general and feasible solution to the optimization of collective communication
problem is still missing.
In this paper, we analyze and attempt to improve intra-cluster collective communication in the context of the widely deployed
MPI programming paradigm by extending accepted models of point-to-point communication, such as Hockney, LogP/LogGP, and PLogP,
to collective operations. We compare the predictions from models against the experimentally gathered data and using these
results, construct optimal decision function for broadcast collective. We quantitatively compare the quality of the model-based
decision functions to the experimentally-optimal one. Additionally, in this work, we also introduce a new form of an optimized
tree-based broadcast algorithm, splitted-binary.
Our results show that all of the models can provide useful insights into various aspects of the different algorithms as well
as their relative performance. Still, based on our findings, we believe that the complete reliance on models would not yield
optimal results. In addition, our experimental results have identified the gap parameter as being the most critical for accurate
modeling of both the classical point-to-point-based pipeline and our extensions to fan-out topologies.

Background
Although cystic fibrosis is caused by mutations in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene, the severity of disease is highly variable indicating the influence of modifier genes. The intestines of Cftr deficient mice (CF mice: Cftr tm1Unc ) are prone to obstruction by excessive mucus accumulation and are used as a model of meconium ileus and distal intestinal obstruction syndrome. This phenotype is strongly dependent on the genetic background of the mice. On the C57Bl/6 background, the majority of CF mice cannot survive on solid mouse chow, have inflammation of the small intestine, and are about 30% smaller than wild type littermates. In this work potential modifier loci of the CF intestinal phenotype were identified.Results
CF mice on a mixed genetic background (95% C57Bl/6 and 5% 129Sv) were compared to CF mice congenic on the C57Bl/6 background for several parameters of the intestinal CF phenotype. CF mice on the mixed background exhibit significantly greater survival when fed dry mouse chow, have reduced intestinal inflammation as measured by quantitative RT-PCR for marker genes, have near normal body weight gain, and have reduced mucus accumulation in the intestinal crypts. There was an indication of a gender effect for body weight gain: males did not show a significant improvement at 4 weeks of age, but were of normal weight at 8 weeks, while females showed improvement at both 4 and 8 weeks. By a preliminary genome-wide PCR allele scanning, three regions were found to be potentially associated with the milder phenotype. One on chr.1, defined by marker D1Mit36, one on chr. 9 defined by marker D9Mit90, and one on chr. 10, defined by marker D10Mit14.Conclusion
Potential modifier regions were found that have a positive impact on the inflammatory phenotype of the CF mouse small intestine and animal survival. Identification of polymorphisms in specific genes in these regions should provide important new information about genetic modifiers of the CF intestinal phenotype. 相似文献9.
