The endoperoxide ascaridol shows strong differential cytotoxicity in nucleotide excision repair-deficient cells

2011

Targeting synthetic lethality in DNA repair pathways has become a promising anti-cancer strategy. However little is known about such interactions with regard to the nucleotide excision repair (NER) pathway. Therefore, cell lines with a defect in the NER genes ERCC6 or XPC and their normal counterparts were screened with 53 chemically defined phytochemicals isolated from plants used in traditional Chinese medicine for differential cytotoxic effects. The screening revealed 12 drugs that killed NER-deficient cells more efficiently than proficient cells. Five drugs were further analyzed for IC50 values, effects on cell cycle distribution, and induction of DNA damage. Ascaridol was the most effe…

Morse-Smale index theorems for elliptic boundary deformation problems.

2012

AbstractMorse-type index theorems for self-adjoint elliptic second order boundary value problems arise as the second variation of an energy functional corresponding to some variational problem. The celebrated Morse index theorem establishes a precise relation between the Morse index of a geodesic (as critical point of the geodesic action functional) and the number of conjugate points along the curve. Generalization of this theorem to linear elliptic boundary value problems appeared since seventies. (See, for instance, Smale (1965) [12], Uhlenbeck (1973) [15] and Simons (1968) [11] among others.) The aim of this paper is to prove a Morse–Smale index theorem for a second order self-adjoint el…

Medical Chemistry Group

The Medical Chemistry Group is focused on medicinal and bioinorganic chemistry, mainly related to peptides and proteins. In general, projects on the interaction of biologically important macromolecules with other molecules or metal ions are underway. Two National Science Centre grants are being realized by group members. One of them is about hot topic – SARS-Cov2/virus protein interaction with human receptor. The second is about interaction of iron ions with small heat shock protein, which is involved in ferroptosis (programmed cell death dependent on iron). Cooperation includes research centers in Poland and abroad, e.g. University of Wroclaw and USA, but also other faculties of University…

Latvijas banku sistēmas attīstības analīze ES apstākļos

2012

Temats “Latvijas banku sistēmas attīstības analīze Eiropas Savienības apstākļos” ir īpaši aktuāls pašreizējos apstākļos, kad Latvija nu jau astoņus gadus atrodas Eiropas Savienības sastāvā, izjūt vienotā finanšu tirgus iespaidu un risina tautsaimniecības problēmas, kas īpaši saasinājās 2008.–2010. gada globālās ekonomiskās krīzes rezultātā. Bakalaura darbā uz teorētiskās un praktiskās analīzes bāzes autors atklāj pozitīvās un negatīvās tendences Latvijas banku sistēmā pēc valsts iestāšanās Eiropas Savienībā un izstrādā priekšlikumus Latvijas banku sistēmas turpmākai attīstībai ES vienotajā tirgū. Darba pirmā nodaļa sniedz banku sistēmas darbības teorētisko raksturojumu. Balstoties uz to, nā…

Reproductive Medicine

Infertility, or the inability to conceive a child, is a medical condition recognized by the World Health Organization (WHO) that causes serious health problems for affected women, as well as significant epidemiological and sociological repercussions for society. It is estimated that this condition affects 15% of couples worldwide, with its incidence increasing, affecting 10% of couples who want to conceive their first child and between 10-25% of those who want to have a second child. The European Parliament's report on the future demographic of Europe (2007/2156 (INI)) highlights the need to consider infertility as a sensitive and important issue for consideration in articles 25 and 26. The…

The impact of soil erosion on soil fertility and vine vigor. A multidisciplinary approach based on field, laboratory and remote sensing approaches

2018

Soil erosion processes in vineyards, beyond surface runoff and sediment transport, have a strong effect on soil organic carbon (SOC) loss and redistribution along the slope. Variation in SOC across the landscape can determine differences in soil fertility and vine vigor. The goal of this research was to analyze the interactions among vines vigor, sediment delivery and SOC in a sloping vineyard located in Sicily. Six pedons were studied along the slope by digging 6 pits up to 60 cm depth. Soil was sampled every 10 cm and SOC, water extractable organic carbon (WEOC) and specific ultraviolet absorbance (SUVA) were analyzed. Erosion rates, detachment and deposition areas were measured by the po…

UL Centre "Confucius Institute

The Centre is a basic unit of the University of Latvia (hereinafter referred to as “UL”), established on the initiative of the UL and HANBAN, on the basis of the Agreement about establishing a “Confucius Institute” in the UL and a cooperation agreement with South China Normal University (SCNU), in order to develop cooperation between the People's Republic of China (PRC) and Latvian universities. The Centre aims to promote cooperation in the fields of education, science and culture between UL and SCNU, to attract projects. The Centre unites and links these projects and offers them a single location, shared infrastructure and extensive publicity.

Christiani Matrimonii Institutio per Des. Erasmum Roterodamum, opus nunc primum & natum, & excusum

The author re-evaluates the concept of conjugal love: marriage is the mystical union of two souls, the expression of an emotional understanding between spouses. He also suggests a mitigation of the norms on the indissolubility of marriage: if there is conflict between the spouses, for the salvation of their souls he considers the possibility, as extrema ratio, of dissolving their marriage.

Noninvasive Ventilation of Patients with Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome: Insights from the LUNG SAFE Study

2016

Rationale: Noninvasive ventilation (NIV) is increasingly used in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The evidence supporting NIV use in patients with ARDS remains relatively sparse.Objectives: To determine whether, during NIV, the categorization of ARDS severity based on the PaO2/FiO2 Berlin criteria is useful.Methods: The LUNG SAFE (Large Observational Study to Understand the Global Impact of Severe Acute Respiratory Failure) study described the management of patients with ARDS. This substudy examines the current practice of NIV use in ARDS, the utility of the PaO2/FiO2 ratio in classifying patients receiving NIV, and the impact of NIV on outcome.Measurements and Main…
