Is CD1a involved in antitumour immune responses during carcinogenesis?

2004

Sir, I read with interest the article of Coventry and Morton (2003) that investigated DC infiltration within breast cancers and the association with survival. Interestingly, they found that more patients were alive at the 5-year time point in the group with higher CD1a DC density than the lower CD1a DC group, but this failed to reach statistical significance at the P=0.05 level. In our opinion, the role of CD1 family molecules in antitumour immune responses, and in particular of CD1a, should be more debated, since its expression was recently described not only in monocyte-derived dendritic cells, but also in nonmesenchymal cytotypes, that is, epithelial cells (Ulanova et al, 2000). We recen…

Highly efficient separation of amines by electrokinetic chromatography using resorcarene-octacarboxylic acids as pseudo-stationary phases

1998

Abstract Resorcarene-octacarboxylic acids, macrocyclic molecules built up by four alkylidene-bridged resorcinol units, were synthesized and used as pseudostationary phases in electrokinetic chromatography (EKC). Resorcarenes provide a stable structure and good solubility in electrolytes even with organic modifiers. The high electrophoretic mobility of the resorcarene-octacarboxylic acids introduced here as pseudostationary phases is based on the eight partly deprotonated carboxylic groups. This offers a broad migration time window, which is the main parameter for the resolution of peaks. From three compounds with different alkyl chain lengths (C 1 , C 5 , C 11 ), the C 11 -resorcarene-octa-…

Fourier series for elliptic integrals and some generalizations via hypergeometric series

2008

Fourier series are derived for generalizations of the three canonical Legendre incomplete elliptic integrals using a hypergeometric series approach. The Fourier series for the incomplete Epstein–Hubbell integrals are obtained as special cases of the generalization of the Legendre integrals of the first and second kinds. The Fourier series for the integrals of the first and second kinds, and those for the Epstein–Hubbell integrals, were obtained recently using a different approach, but the series obtained for the generalization of the incomplete integral of the third kind is new. All cases of the integral of the third kind are given, with the modulus and the parameter being complex variables…

La Casina cinese alla Favorita di Palermo: un'ipotesi di lettura.

2016

L'articolo verte su un'ipotesi interpretativa della componente decorativa della Casina cinese alla Favorita di Palermo basata sulla componente "alla cinese" e su una sua densa natura confuciana. The paper offers a hypothesis of interpretation of the decorative patterns of the Casina cinese at the Favorita Park in Palermo which is based on the component "in Chinese style" that is characterized by a strong Confucian element.

Chemistry and reactivity of dinuclear manganese oxamate complexes: Aerobic catechol oxidation catalyzed by high-valent bis(oxo)-bridged dimanganese(I…

2006

[EN] The high-valent bis(oxo)-bridged dimanganese(IV) complexes with the series of binucleating 4.5-X-2-o-phenylenebis(oxamate) ligands (opbaX(2); X = H, Cl, Me) (1a-c) have been synthesized and characterized structurally, spectroscopically and magnetically. Complexes la-c possess unique Mn-2(mu-O)(2) core structures with two o-phenylenediamidate type additional bridges which lead to exceptionally short Mn-Mn distances (2.63-2.65 angstrom) and fairly bent Mn-O-Mn angles (94.1 degrees-94.6 degrees). The cyclovoltammograms of la-c in acetonitrile (25 degrees C, 0.1 M Bu4NPF6) show an irreversible one-electron oxidation peak at moderately high anodic potentials (E-ap = 0.50-0.85 V versus SCE),…

Linear and nonlinear parametric model identification to assess granger causality in short-term cardiovascular interactions

2008

We assessed directional relationships between short RR interval and systolic arterial pressure (SAP) variability series according to the concept of Granger causality. Causality was quantified as the predictability improvement (PI) of a time series obtained when samples of the other series were used for prediction, i.e. moving from autoregressive (AR) to AR exogenous (ARX) prediction. AR and ARX predictions were performed both by linear and nonlinear parametric models. The PIs of RR given SAP and of SAP given RR, measuring baroreflex and mechanical couplings, were calculated in 15 healthy subjects in the resting supine and upright tilt positions. Using nonlinear models we found a bilateral i…

Need of causal analysis for assessing phase relationships in closed loop interacting cardiovascular variability series

2003

The phase spectra obtained by the classical closed loop autoregressive model (2AR) and by an open loop autoregressive model (ARXAR) were compared to shed light on the need of introducing causality in the assessment of the delay between RR and arterial pressure oscillations. The reliability of the two approaches was tested in simulation and real data setting. In simulation, the coupling strength of a bivariate closed loop process was adjusted to obtain a range of working conditions from open to closed loop. In open loop condition, 2AR and ARXAR phases were comparable and in agreement with the imposed delay. In closed loop condition, ARXAR model returned the imposed delays, while 2AR showed a…

A new Framework for the Spectral Information Decomposition of Multivariate Gaussian Processes

2021

: Different information-theoretic measures are available in the literature for the study of pairwise and higher-order interactions in multivariate dynamical systems. While these measures operate in the time domain, several physiological and non-physiological systems exhibit a rich oscillatory content that is typically analyzed in the frequency domain through spectral and cross-spectral approaches. For Gaussian systems, the relation between information and spectral measures has been established considering coupling and causality measures, but not for higher-order interactions. To fill this gap, in this work we introduce an information-theoretic framework in the frequency domain to quantify t…

Analysis of neuronal networks in the visual system of the cat using statistical signals--simple and complex cells. Part II.

1978

Superimposing additively a two-dimensional noise process to deterministic input signals (bars) the neurons of area 17 show a class-specific reaction for the task of signal extraction. Moving both parts of the signals simultaneously and varying the signal to noise ratio (S/N) the simple cells achieve the same performance as resulted from the psychophysical experiment. Type I complex cells extract moving deterministic signals (i.e. bars) from the stationary noise, whereas in the answers of Type II complex cells the statistical parts of the signals predominate. Considering the different cell types each as a series of a linear and a nonlinear system one obtains the cell specific space-time freq…
