SV40 transformed fibroblasts recognize the same 140 kD fibronectin chemotactic fragment as non-transformed cells
1985
SV40-virus-transformed human embryonal fibroblasts show an enhanced chemotactic response to the glycoprotein fibronectin. However, they recognize the same chemotactic active region as non-transformed fibroblasts. The result suggests that an enhancement of chemotaxis by fibroblasts which have been transformed with Simian Virus 40 is due not to the utilization of further chemotactic domains in the molecule, but to an increased sensitivity of the cells to the chemoattractant.
Totta ja unta : draama puhe- ja kehitysvammaisten ihmisten yhteisöllisenä kuntoutuksena ja kokemuksena
2010
Research on drama work among non-speech persons with cognitive, functional and interaction impairments is scarce. This pilot study describes a type of drama suitable for special education and care, in which daily care providers step into a sensory story with their disabled pairs. Participants focus their attention on a shared target and gain shared involvement. They get embodied knowledge in space and time. The research explores the conceptual basis for this empowering drama type, experiences of practical drama sessions, particularly their rehabilitative features. By linking drama education, special education, and logopedics with critical pedagogy, the researcher implements an abductive and…
On-chip purification of arc-discharge synthesized multiwalled carbon nanotubes via mobile liquid interface
2017
This thesis reports a novel approach for purification of carbon nanotube (CNT) samples deposited on smooth silicon substrates through a mobile liquid interface interacting with carbonaceous debris particles that contaminate the deposition. The method is based on physical interaction of the particles and the three-phase contact line via capillary interface forces, i.e. the surface tension, which results in the detachment of chemically indispersible colloids from the sample surface. In the experiments reported in this work, we focus primarily on arc-discharge grown multi-walled carbon nanotubes, whose synthesis is particularly plagued by carbonaceous debris that is difficult to remove without h…
High-rate x-ray spectroscopy in mammography with a CdTe detector: A digital pulse processing approach
2010
Purpose:Direct measurement of mammographic x-ray spectra under clinical conditions is a difficult task due to the high fluence rate of the x-ray beams as well as the limits in the development of high resolution detection systems in a high counting rate environment. In this work we present a detection system, based on a CdTe detector and an innovative digital pulse processing (DPP) system, for high-rate x-ray spectroscopy in mammography. Methods: The DPP system performs a digital pile-up inspection and a digital pulse height analysis of the detector signals, digitized through a 14-bit, 100 MHz digitizer, for x-ray spectroscopy even at high photon counting rates. We investigated on the respon…
Valutazione degli effetti del dimetilamino-partenolide (DMAPT) in vivo in xenotrapianti di cellule di carcinoma mammario MDA-MB231
2014
Obiettivo degli studi condotti in questa tesi è stato quello di valutare l’efficacia del Partenolide in vivo in xenotrapianti ottenuti da cellule di carcinoma mammario triplo negativo MDA-MB231 in topi immunodeficienti. Lo studio è stato condotto impiegando il dimetilamino-partenolide (DMAPT), un analogo del partenolide più solubile. I risultati delle ricerche hanno dimostrato che la somministrazione di DMAPT a topi immunodeficienti portatori di xenotrapianti di cellule MDA-MB231 determina una significativa inibizione della crescita dei tumori e un incremento della sopravvivenza degli animali. Analisi immunoistochimiche condotte su preparati istologici ottenuti dai tumori hanno anche dimost…
Obesity and survival in operable breast cancer patients treated with adjuvant anthracyclines and taxanes according to pathological subtypes: a pooled…
2013
Obesity is an unfavorable prognostic factor in breast cancer (BC) patients regardless of menopausal status and treatment received. However, the association between obesity and survival outcome by pathological subtype requires further clarification. METHODS: We performed a retrospective analysis including 5,683 operable BC patients enrolled in four randomized clinical trials (GEICAM/9906, GEICAM/9805, GEICAM/2003-02, and BCIRG 001) evaluating anthracyclines and taxanes as adjuvant treatments. Our primary aim was to assess the prognostic effect of body mass index (BMI) on disease recurrence, breast cancer mortality (BCM), and overall mortality (OM). A secondary aim was to detect differences o…
Amuleti “omamori” un to loma mūsdienu Japānas sabiedrībā
2018
Bakalaura darba “Amuleti omamori un to loma mūsdienu Japānas sabiedrībā” mērķis ir noskaidrot “omamori” lietošanas nozīmi mūsdienu Japānas sabiedrībā. Tāpat arī bakalaura darbā tiek apskatīts reliģiskais fons Japānā, kā arī skaidrota prakse piedēvēt pārdabiskas spējas priekšmetiem primitīvo reliģisko uzskatu kontekstā un skaidrots amuleta fenomens. Japānā “omamori” popularitāte pēdējo gadu laikā ir ļoti pieaugusi. Mūsdienās “omamori” tiek plaši izmantoti gan reliģiskā kontekstā, gan sekulāri. Bakalaura darbā “omamori” fenomens tiek pētīts, izmantojot aprakstošo pētniecības metodi, kas ietver materiālu analīzi, vispārināšanu un klasificēšanu, kā arī izmantojot salīdzināmo pētniecības metodi,…
