Van Liew, Hugh D., and Soumya Raychaudhuri. Stabilizedbubbles in the body: pressure-radius relationships and the limits tostabilization. J. Appl. Physiol.82(6): 2045-2053, 1997.We previously outlined the fundamentalprinciples that govern behavior of stabilized bubbles, such as themicrobubbles being put forward as ultrasound contrast agents. Ourpresent goals are to develop the idea that there are limits to thestabilization and to provide a conceptual framework for comparison ofbubbles stabilized by different mechanisms. Gases diffuse in or out ofstabilized bubbles in a limited and reversible manner in response tochanges in the environment, but strong growth influences will cause thebubbles to cross a threshold into uncontrolled growth. Also, bubblesstabilized by mechanical structures will be destroyed if outsideinfluences bring them below a critical small size. The in vivo behaviorof different kinds of stabilized bubbles can be compared by using plotsof bubble radius as a function of forces that affect diffusion of gasesin or out of the bubble. The two ends of the plot are the limits forunstabilized growth and destruction; these and the curve's slopepredict the bubble's practical usefulness for ultrasonic imaging orO2 carriage to tissues. 相似文献

Variations of survival to an acute hypoxia (nitrogen) were studied, in 200 females, OF1, SPF mice, 72 days old, in groups of 10, at different periods of their estrus cycle, which were evidenced by vaginal smears. In mice which were in diestrus since 3-4 following days, the hypoxic survival (27.27%) was statistically less than in mice which were in estrus (58.00 %) or at the beginning of the diestrus (53.85 %). 相似文献

Periodontitis is commonly diagnosed based on clinical parameters. However, the analysis of a few unique biomarkers of the disease process present in the saliva and blood can further assist the estimation of the rate of disease progression.AimThe present study attempted to correlate the alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and acid phosphatase (ACP) levels in saliva and serum between patients with healthy periodontium, gingivitis, and chronic periodontitis.Materials and methodsThe present study was conducted in 135 subjects between 20 and 55 years of age. The subjects were divided into three groups, namely healthy (Group A), gingivitis (Group B), and chronic periodontitis (Group C). The clinical parameters were recorded using the plaque index (PI), gingival index (GI), and probing depth (PD). Saliva and serum were analyzed for ALP and ACP levels using an auto analyzer. All patients underwent scaling and root planning (SRP) along with oral hygiene instructions. Patients were then recalled after four weeks, and blood and saliva samples were collected to estimate ALP and ACP levels prior to clinical examination.ResultsThe clinical parameters exhibited a statistically significant decrease in the PI and GI in both group B and group C after SRP. A significant change in the PD and attachment levels (AL) was observed in the periodontitis group after SRP. The mean salivary & serum ALP levels exhibited a statistically significant decrease in group B & C after SRP. The mean serum ACP levels exhibited a statistically significant decrease in group B & C after SRP However, the salivary ACP levels decrease after SRP was only statistically significant in group C.ConclusionSerum and salivary ALP and ACP levels were markedly decreased in the gingivitis and periodontitis groups after SRP and were positively correlated with the clinical parameters. 相似文献

In humans, the double-stranded RNA (dsRNA)-activated protein kinase (PKR) is expressed in late stages of the innate immune response to viral infection by the interferon pathway. PKR consists of tandem dsRNA binding motifs (dsRBMs) connected via a flexible linker to a Ser/Thr kinase domain. Upon interaction with viral dsRNA, PKR is converted into a catalytically active enzyme capable of phosphorylating a number of target proteins that often results in host cell translational repression. A number of high-resolution structural studies involving individual dsRBMs from proteins other than PKR have highlighted the key features required for interaction with perfectly duplexed RNA substrates. However, viral dsRNA molecules are highly structured and often contain deviations from perfect A-form RNA helices. By use of small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), we present solution conformations of the tandem dsRBMs of PKR in complex with two imperfectly base-paired viral dsRNA stem–loops; HIV-1 TAR and adenovirus VAI-AS. Both individual components and complexes were purified by size exclusion chromatography and characterized by dynamic light scattering at multiple concentrations to ensure monodispersity. SAXS ab initio solution conformations of the individual components and RNA–protein complexes were determined and highlight the potential of PKR to interact with both stem and loop regions of the RNA. Excellent agreement between experimental and model-based hydrodynamic parameter determination heightens our confidence in the obtained models. Taken together, these data support and provide a framework for the existing biochemical data regarding the tolerance of imperfectly base-paired viral dsRNA by PKR. 相似文献

DNA sequence variation within human leukocyte antigen (HLA) genes mediate susceptibility to a wide range of human diseases. The complex genetic structure of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) makes it difficult, however, to collect genotyping data in large cohorts. Long-range linkage disequilibrium between HLA loci and SNP markers across the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) region offers an alternative approach through imputation to interrogate HLA variation in existing GWAS data sets. Here we describe a computational strategy, SNP2HLA, to impute classical alleles and amino acid polymorphisms at class I (HLA-A, -B, -C) and class II (-DPA1, -DPB1, -DQA1, -DQB1, and -DRB1) loci. To characterize performance of SNP2HLA, we constructed two European ancestry reference panels, one based on data collected in HapMap-CEPH pedigrees (90 individuals) and another based on data collected by the Type 1 Diabetes Genetics Consortium (T1DGC, 5,225 individuals). We imputed HLA alleles in an independent data set from the British 1958 Birth Cohort (N = 918) with gold standard four-digit HLA types and SNPs genotyped using the Affymetrix GeneChip 500 K and Illumina Immunochip microarrays. We demonstrate that the sample size of the reference panel, rather than SNP density of the genotyping platform, is critical to achieve high imputation accuracy. Using the larger T1DGC reference panel, the average accuracy at four-digit resolution is 94.7% using the low-density Affymetrix GeneChip 500 K, and 96.7% using the high-density Illumina Immunochip. For amino acid polymorphisms within HLA genes, we achieve 98.6% and 99.3% accuracy using the Affymetrix GeneChip 500 K and Illumina Immunochip, respectively. Finally, we demonstrate how imputation and association testing at amino acid resolution can facilitate fine-mapping of primary MHC association signals, giving a specific example from type 1 diabetes. 相似文献

Partial duplication of 11q is related to several malformations like growth retardation, intellectual disability, hypoplasia of corpus callosum, short nose, palate defects, cardiac, urinary tract abnormalities and neural tube defects. We have studied the clinical and molecular characteristics of a patient with severe intellectual disabilities, dysmorphic features, congenital inguinal hernia and congenital cerebral malformation which is referred to as cytogenetic exploration. We have used FISH and array CGH analysis for a better understanding of the double chromosomic aberration involving a 7p microdeletion along with a partial duplication of 11q due to adjacent segregation of a paternal reciprocal translocation t(7;11)(p22;q21) revealed after banding analysis. The patient's karyotype formula was: 46,XY,der(7)t(7;11)(p22;q21)pat. FISH study confirmed these rearrangement and array CGH technique showed precisely the loss of at least 140 Kb on chromosome7p22.3pter and 33.4 Mb on chromosome11q22.1q25. Dysmorphic features, severe intellectual disability and brain malformations could result from the 11q22.1q25 trisomy. Our study provides an additional case for better understanding and delineating the partial duplication 11q. 相似文献

The initial microorganism adhesion on substrate is an important step for the biofilm formation. The surface properties of the stainless steel and B. cereus were characterized by the sessile drop technique. Moreover, the physicochemical properties of surface adhesion and the impact of bio adhesion to the stainless steel were determined at different time of contact (2, 4, 7, 9 and 24 h). The results showed that the strain was hydrophilic (Giwi = 3.37 mJ/m2), whereas the substratum has hydrophobic character (Giwi = ?57.6 mJ/m2). Stainless steel surface presents a weak electron-donor character (γ? = 4.1 mJ/m2) conversely to B. cereus that presents an important parameter (γ? = 31.6 mJ/m2). The bio adhesion was investigated at different time of contact. The data analysis after 2 h, confirmed the adhesion of B. cereus with an amount of 10 cfu/cm2 which increased to 1.2104 cfu/cm2 after 24 h. Interestingly, despite the difference of hydropohbicity, the interaction between B. cereus and substratum was favored by the thermodynamic aspect of adhesion (ΔGadhesion < 0). Interestingly, the study of the effect of B. cereus adhesion on the stainless steel has revealed that, the substratum becomes hydrophilic (θ° = 41.3, ΔGiwi = 39.6 mJ/m2) and highly electron donor (Γ? = 52.9 mJ/m2) after 2 h of bio adhesion. 相似文献

Deformations of cell nuclei accompany a number of essential intracellular processes. Although evidence is being accumulated on the primary role actin structures play in controlling the shape of the nucleus, the mechanisms behind this phenomenon remain unknown. Here, we consider theoretically a specific paradigm of nuclear deformation, and a related actin rearrangement, in T cells stimulated by contact with a bead covered by surrogate antigens. We suggest that the nucleus is deformed by the elastic forces developed within a cylindrical layer of polymerized actin, which is generated as a result of the receptor-mediated T-cell activation. We substantiate this proposal with a theoretical analysis of mutual deformations in the actin layer and the nucleus, which recovers the experimentally observed nuclear shapes. Furthermore, we evaluate the forces developed by the actin polymerization that drives the nuclear deformation. The model predicts the mode of actin polymerization generated by the surrogate antigens covering a bead and the values of the elastic moduli of the nuclear shell. We provide a qualitative experimental support for the model assumptions by visualizing the stages of nuclear shape change and the corresponding evolution of the cortical actin. 相似文献
