Background to the debate: Several studies have found disparities in the outcome of medical procedures across different hospitals—better outcomes have been associated with higher procedure volume. An Institute of Medicine workshop found such a “volume–outcome relationship” for two types of cancer surgery: resection of the pancreas and esophagus (http://www.iom.edu/?id=31508). This debate examines whether physicians have an ethical obligation to inform patients of hospital outcome disparities for these cancers. 相似文献

Competing endogenous RNA database 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
A given mRNA can be regulated by interactions with miRNAs and in turn the availability of these miRNAs can be regulated by
their interactions with alternate mRNAs. The concept of regulation of a given mRNA by alternate mRNA (competing endogenous
mRNA) by virtue of interactions with miRNAs through shared miRNA response elements is poised to become a fundamental
genetic regulatory mechanism. The molecular basis of the mRNA-mRNA cross talks is via miRNA response elements, which can
be predicted based on both molecular interaction and evolutionary conservation. By examining the co-occurrence of miRNA
response elements in the mRNAs on a genome-wide basis we predict competing endogenous RNA for specific mRNAs targeted by
miRNAs. Comparison of the mRNAs predicted to regulate PTEN with recently published work, indicate that the results presented
within the competing endogenous RNA database (ceRDB) have biological relevance.

Background
The molecular network sustained by different types of interactions among proteins is widely manifested as the fundamental driving force of cellular operations. Many biological functions are determined by the crosstalk between proteins rather than by the characteristics of their individual components. Thus, the searches for protein partners in global networks are imperative when attempting to address the principles of biology.Results
We have developed a web-based tool “Sequence-based Protein Partners Search” (SPPS) to explore interacting partners of proteins, by searching over a large repertoire of proteins across many species. SPPS provides a database containing more than 60,000 protein sequences with annotations and a protein-partner search engine in two modes (Single Query and Multiple Query). Two interacting proteins of human FBXO6 protein have been found using the service in the study. In addition, users can refine potential protein partner hits by using annotations and possible interactive network in the SPPS web server.Conclusions
SPPS provides a new type of tool to facilitate the identification of direct or indirect protein partners which may guide scientists on the investigation of new signaling pathways. The SPPS server is available to the public at http://mdl.shsmu.edu.cn/SPPS/. 相似文献4.
MycoProtease-DB is an online MS SQL and CGI-PERL driven relational database that domiciles protease information of
Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) complex and Nontuberculous Mycobacteria (NTM), whose complete genome sequence is
available. Our effort is to provide comprehensive information on proteases of 5 strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (H37Rv, H37Ra,
CDC1551, F11 and KZN 1435), 3 strains of Mycobacterium bovis (AF2122/97, BCG Pasteur 1173P2 and BCG Tokyo 172) and 4 strains
of NTM (Mycobacterium avium 104, Mycobacterium smegmatis MC2 155, Mycobacterium avium paratuberculosis K-10 and Nocardia
farcinica IFM 10152) at gene, protein and structural level. MycoProtease-DB currently hosts 1324 proteases, which include 906
proteases from MTB complex with 237distinct proteases & 418 from NTM with 404 distinct proteases. Flexible database design and
easy expandability & retrieval of information are the main features of MycoProtease-DB. All the data were validated with various
online resources and published literatures for reliable serving as comprehensive resources of various Mycobacterial proteases.

The availability of genomic sequences of many organisms has opened new challenges in many aspects particularly in terms of
genome analysis. Sequence extraction is a vital step and many tools have been developed to solve this issue. These tools are
available publically but have limitations with reference to the sequence extraction, length of the sequence to be extracted, organism
specificity and lack of user friendly interface. We have developed a java based software package having three modules which can
be used independently or sequentially. The tool efficiently extracts sequences from large datasets with few simple steps. It can
efficiently extract multiple sequences of any desired length from a genome of any organism. The results are crosschecked by
published data.

The introduction of affordable, consumer-oriented 3-D printers is a milestone in the current “maker movement,” which has been heralded as the next industrial revolution. Combined with free and open sharing of detailed design blueprints and accessible development tools, rapid prototypes of complex products can now be assembled in one’s own garage—a game-changer reminiscent of the early days of personal computing. At the same time, 3-D printing has also allowed the scientific and engineering community to build the “little things” that help a lab get up and running much faster and easier than ever before.Applications of 3-D printing technologies (Fig. 1A, Box 1) have become as diverse as the types of materials that can be used for printing. Replacement parts at the International Space Station may be printed in orbit from durable plastics or metals, while back on Earth the food industry is starting to explore the same basic technology to fold strings of chocolate into custom-shaped confectionary. Also, consumer-oriented laser-cutting technology makes it very easy to cut raw materials such as sheets of plywood, acrylic, or aluminum into complex shapes within seconds. The range of possibilities comes to light when those mechanical parts are combined with off-the-shelf electronics, low-cost microcontrollers like Arduino boards [1], and single-board computers such as a Beagleboard [2] or a Raspberry Pi [3]. After an initial investment of typically less than a thousand dollars (e.g., to set-up a 3-D printer), the only other materials needed to build virtually anything include a few hundred grams of plastic (approximately US$30/kg), cables, and basic electronic components [4,5].Open in a separate windowFig 1Examples of open 3-D printed laboratory tools.

1, Components for laboratory tools, such as the base for a micromanipulator [18] shown here, can be rapidly prototyped using 3-D printing. A
2, The printed parts can be easily combined with an off-the-shelf continuous rotation servo-motor (bottom) to motorize the main axis. B

2, The pipette consists of the printed parts (blue), two biro fillings with the spring, an off-the-shelf piece of tubing to fit the tip, and one screw used as a spacer. B
3, Assembly is complete with a laboratory glove or balloon spanned between the two main printed parts and sealed with tape to create an airtight bottom chamber continuous with the pipette tip. Accuracy is ±2–10 μl depending on printer precision, and total capacity of the system is easily adjusted using two variables listed in the source code, or accessed via the “Customizer” plugin on the thingiverse link [8].
