The Volatilomic Footprints of Human HGC-27 and CLS-145 Gastric Cancer Cell Lines
2021
The presence of certain volatile biomarkers in the breath of patients with gastric cancer has been reported by several studies; however, the origin of these compounds remains controversial. In vitro studies, involving gastric cancer cells may address this problem and aid in revealing the biochemical pathways underlying the production and metabolism of gastric cancer volatile indicators. Gas chromatography with mass spectrometric detection, coupled with headspace needle trap extraction as the pre-concentration technique, has been applied to map the volatilomic footprints of human HGC-27 and CLS-145 gastric cancer cell lines and normal Human Stomach Epithelial Cells (HSEC). In total, 27 volat…
Polyoxypregnanes as safe, potent, and specific ABCB1-inhibitory pro-drugs to overcome multidrug resistance in cancer chemotherapy in vitro and in vivo
2021
Multidrug resistance (MDR) mediated by ATP binding cassette subfamily B member 1 (ABCB1) is significantly hindering effective cancer chemotherapy. However, currently, no ABCB1-inhibitory drugs have been approved to treat MDR cancer clinically, mainly due to the inhibitor specificity, toxicity, and drug interactions. Here, we reported that three polyoxypregnanes (POPs) as the most abundant constituents of Marsdenia tenacissima (M. tenacissima) were novel ABCB1-modulatory pro-drugs, which underwent intestinal microbiota-mediated biotransformation in vivo to generate active metabolites. The metabolites at non-toxic concentrations restored chemosensitivity in ABCB1-overexpressing cancer cells v…
Efficient Targeting of Protein Antigen to the Dendritic Cell Receptor DEC-205 in the Steady State Leads to Antigen Presentation on Major Histocompati…
2002
To identify endocytic receptors that allow dendritic cells (DCs) to capture and present antigens on major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I products in vivo, we evaluated DEC-205, which is abundant on DCs in lymphoid tissues. Ovalbumin (OVA) protein, when chemically coupled to monoclonal alphaDEC-205 antibody, was presented by CD11c+ lymph node DCs, but not by CD11c- cells, to OVA-specific, CD4+ and CD8+ T cells. Receptor-mediated presentation was at least 400 times more efficient than unconjugated OVA and, for MHC class I, the DCs had to express transporter of antigenic peptides (TAP) transporters. When alphaDEC-205:OVA was injected subcutaneously, OVA protein was identified over a …
Hacia la convergencia de las estadísticas de las finanzas públicas y la contabilidad pública en Europa a nivel central y local
2018
[EN] The main aim of this paper is to study the convergence between micro and macro systems of government accounting information, looking to contribute to the analysis of accounting harmonization process in the EU, as a tool to improve the comparability of financial, budgetary, and aggregated statistical reports, in order to improve social, political and economic decision-making and accountability. All this is obviously located in the current context of the EU, with a high degree of harmonization of accounting standards between the International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS), and those applied for the preparation of national accounts, ruled by European System of National and Re…
12-month follow-up analysis of a multicenter, randomized, prospective trial in de novo liver transplant recipients (LIS2T) comparing cyclosporine mic…
2006
The LIS2T study was an open-label, multicenter study in which recipients of a primary liver transplant were randomized to cyclosporine microemulsion (CsA-ME) (Neoral) (n = 250) (monitoring of blood concentration at 2 hours postdose) C2 or tacrolimus (n = 245) (monitoring of trough drug blood level [predose]) C0 to compare efficacy and safety at 3 and 6 months and to evaluate patient status at 12 months. All patients received steroids with or without azathioprine. At 12 months, 85% of CsA-ME patients and 86% of tacrolimus patients survived with a functioning graft (P not significant). Efficacy was similar in deceased- and living-donor recipients. Significantly fewer hepatitis C–positive pati…
Alakoulun opettajat motoriikan arvioijina
2015
Kuikka, Henna 2015. Alakoulun opettajat motoriikan arvioijina. Kasvatustieteen pro gradu –tutkielma. Jyväskylän yliopisto. Opettajankoulutuslaitos. Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli selvittää, löytyvätkö opettajan arvioimana ne oppilaat, joilla on kehityksellisiä koordinaatiohäiriöitä eli motorisen oppimisen vaikeuksia ja kuinka luotettava Motoriikan havainnointilomake (MOQ-T) on tunnistettaessa niitä lapsia, joilla haasteita opettajan mukaan on havaittavissa. Tutkimus toteutettiin yhteistyössä Mukaan – liikun, opin, osallistun –tutkimushankkeen kanssa. Mukaan- liikun, opin, osallistun – hanke (2012 – 2014) toteutetaan yhteistyössä Suomen CP-liiton, Niilo Mäki Instituutin, Jyväskylän ylio…
Immunohistochemical marker for Na+ CP type Vα (C-20) and heterozygous nonsense SCN5A mutation W822X in a sudden cardiac death induced by mild anaphyl…
2009
A sudden death likely due to mild anaphylactic reaction in a young man is described. Autoptic, histologic, immunohistochemical, and laboratory findings were strongly consistent with the diagnosis of a mild anaphylactic reaction. Genetic molecular analysis, performed on formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissues, showed a mutation described as W822X in a family with electrocardiographic pattern typical of Brugada Syndrome. It results in a nonsense mutation generating a truncated form of the channel protein. The mutation is due to a point substitution of a guanine with an adenine residue (G2466A). Immunohistochemistry and laser scanning confocal microscopy on sections from heart formalin-fixed…
Summertime total OH reactivity measurements from boreal forest during HUMPPA-COPEC 2010
2012
Ambient total OH reactivity was measured at the Finnish boreal forest station SMEAR II in Hyyti¨al¨a (Latitude 61510 N; Longitude 24170 E) in July and August 2010 using the Comparative Reactivity Method (CRM). The CRM – total OH reactivity method – is a direct, in-situ determination of the total loss rate of hydroxyl radicals (OH) caused by all reactive species in air. During the intensive field campaign HUMPPA-COPEC 2010 (Hyyti¨al¨a United Measurements of Photochemistry and Particles in Air – Comprehensive Organic Precursor Emission and Concentration study) the total OH reactivity was monitored both inside (18 m) and directly above the forest canopy (24 m) for the first time. The compariso…
Lasten ryhmäperustainen, verbaalis-kognitiivinen motoriikkaharjoittelu : interventiotutkimus
2010
Tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli selvittää miten opettajat pystyvät seulomaan yleisopetuksen alaluokilta lapsia, joilla on lieviä motorisen oppimisen vaikeuksia. Lisäksi tutkittiin 10 viikkoa kestäneen motoriikkaa kuntouttavan kognitiivisen harjoitusohjelman vaikutuksia. Kolmantena teemana oli motivaation ja mielialan kehittyminen kerhokerran aikana. Harjoitusohjelma toteutettiin koulun iltapäiväkerhona eräässä keskisuomalaisessa koulussa lukuvuonna 2009–2010. Osallistujat seulottiin neljältä alaluokalta (1–2lk) opettajien täyttämällä koordinaatiokyselyllä (Developmental Coordination Disorder -Questionnare, DCDQ ). Harjoittelun vaikutuksia selvitettiin alku-, loppu- ja pysyvyysmittauksilla, jo…
