The aim of this study was to evaluate the occurrence of genital mycoplasmas, especially Ureaplasma parvum and Ureaplasma urealyticum, in women with atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ASCUS), low grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (LSIL) and high grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSIL), compared to women with normal cytology living in Katowice, Poland. Two sterile swabs were used to obtain material from the posterior vaginal fornix of 143 women with squamous intraepithelial lesions and 39 healthy women: first for general bacteriology, second for detection of urogenital mycoplasmas using Mycoplasma IST2 kit. From each positive Mycoplasma IST2 culture DNA was isolated and PCR was performed for identification of U. parvum and U. urealyticum. Mycoplasma IST was positive in 34.1% cases. Urogenital mycoplasmas were demonstrated in women with HSIL significantly more often compared to women with LSIL, ASCUS, and with normal cytology. DNA of U. parvum was demonstrated in majority of Mycoplasma IST2-positive cases, U. urealyticum DNA-only in 9 (4.9%). Predominance of 3/14 serovars of U. parvum was demonstrated. U. urealyticum biovar 2 was present more often in women with squamous intraepithelial lesions.

Background: Primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) is an autoimmune liver disease characterized by specific autoantibodies. We evaluated the prevalence of autoantibodies against nucleoporin p62 (anti-p62) in PBC patients’ sera to determine whether it can be a marker for PBC, in comparison with other immunological and biochemical parameters. We validated the performance of our in-house ELISA technique. Methods: Serum samples were collected from 135 PBC patients. Thirty patients with primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) and 30 with autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) were included as pathological controls, and 40 healthy blood donors served as healthy controls. The presence of anti-p62 was determined by an in-house ELISA using a recombinant protein. We calculated the sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values (PPV and NPV), and positive and negative likelihood ratio (LR+ and LR-) of our in-house ELISA for diagnosing PBC based on anti-p62. Findings were correlated with biochemical data and survival. Results: Anti-p62 was detected in 32 PBC patients (23.7%). Specificity and PPV of anti-p62 for PBC were 99% and 97%, respectively. The difference between proportions of anti-p62-positive patients and controls was 0.23 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.03–0.40; P<0.0001); LR+ and LR- were 23.7 and 0.77, respectively. The presence of anti-p62 was associated with higher levels of bilirubin and alkaline phosphatase (P<0.001). The odds ratio for survival was 2.44 (95% CI: 0.87–6.87; P=0.091). Conclusions: Anti-p62 may be regarded as a significant serological marker of PBC.

The single-stranded DNA binding activity of the Escherichia coli RecA protein is crucial for homologous recombination to occur. This and other biochemical activities of ssDNA binding proteins may be affected by various factors. In this study, we analyzed the effect of CaCl2, NaCl and NH4NO3 salts in combination with the pH and nucleotide cofactor effect on the ssDNA-binding activity of RecA. The studies revealed that, in addition to the inhibitory effect, these salts exert also a stimulatory effect on RecA. These effects occur only under very strict conditions, and the presence or absence and the type of nucleotide cofactor play here a major role. It was observed that in contrast to ATP, ATPγS prevented the inhibitory effect of NaCl and NH4NO3, even at very high salt concentration. These results indicate that ATPγS most likely stabilizes the structure of RecA required for DNA binding, making it resistant to high salt concentrations. [BMB reports 2011; 44(5): 341-346]
Vertical Graphene Growth from Amorphous Carbon Films Using Oxidizing Gases
Bachmatiuk, Alicja,Boeckl, John,Smith, Howard,Ibrahim, Imad,Gemming, Thomas,Oswald, Steffen,Kazmierczak, Wojciech,Makarov, Denys,Schmidt, Oliver G.,Eckert, Juergen,Fu, Lei,Rummeli, Mark H. American Chemical Society 2015 JOURNAL OF PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY C - Vol.119 No.31
<P>Amorphous carbon thin films are technologically important materials that range in use from the semiconductor industry to corrosion-resistant films. Their conversion to crystalline graphene layers has long been pursued; however, typically this requires excessively high temperatures. Thus, crystallization routes which require reduced temperatures are important. Moreover, the ability to crystallize amorphous carbon at reduced temperatures without a catalyst could pave the way for practical graphene synthesis for device fabrication without the need for transfer or post-transfer gate deposition. To this end we demonstrate a practical and facile method to crystallize deposited amorphous carbon films to high quality graphene layers at reduced annealing temperatures by introducing oxidizing gases during the process. The reactive gases react with regions of higher strain (energy) in the system and accelerate the graphitization process by minimizing criss-cross-linkages and accelerating C–C bond rearrangement at defects. In other words, the movement of crystallite boundaries is accelerated along the carbon hexagon planes by removing obstacles for crystallite coalescence.</P><P><B>Graphic Abstract</B> <IMG SRC='http://pubs.acs.org/appl/literatum/publisher/achs/journals/content/jpccck/2015/jpccck.2015.119.issue-31/acs.jpcc.5b05167/production/images/medium/jp-2015-05167v_0007.gif'></P><P><A href='http://pubs.acs.org/doi/suppl/10.1021/jp5b05167'>ACS Electronic Supporting Info</A></P>

<P>In this work a simple and scalable approach to coat nonmagnetic nanoparticles with few-layer graphene is presented. In addition, the easy processing of such nanoparticles to remove their core, leaving only the 3D graphene nanoshell, is demonstrated. The samples are comprehensively characterized, as are their versatility in terms of functionalization and as a material for electrochemical storage. Indeed, these 3D graphene nanostructures are easily functionalized much as is found with carbon nanotubes and planar graphene. Electrochemical investigations indicate these nanostructures are promising for stable long-life battery applications. Finally, initial toxicological investigations suggest no acute health risk from these 3D graphene nanostructures.</P><P><B>Graphic Abstract</B> <IMG SRC='http://pubs.acs.org/appl/literatum/publisher/achs/journals/content/ancac3/2013/ancac3.2013.7.issue-12/nn4051562/production/images/medium/nn-2013-051562_0010.gif'></P><P><A href='http://pubs.acs.org/doi/suppl/10.1021/nn4051562'>ACS Electronic Supporting Info</A></P>
Blockwise analysis for solving linear systems of equations
Smoktunowicz, Alicja 한국산업정보응용수학회 1999 한국산업정보응용수학회 Vol.3 No.1
We investigate some techniques of iterative refinement of solutions of a nonsingular system Ax = b with A partitioned into blocks using only single precision arithmetic. We prove that iterative refinement improves a blockwise measure of backward stability. Some applications of the results for the least squares problem (LS) will be also considered.
On Numerical Properties of Complex Symmetric Householder Matrices
SMOKTUNOWICZ, ALICJA,GRABARSKI, ADAM 한국산업정보응용수학회 2003 한국산업정보응용수학회 Vol.7 No.2
Analysis is given of construction and stability of complex symmetric analogues of Householder matrices, with applications to the eigenproblem for such matrices. We investigate numerical properties of the deflation of complex symmetric matrices by using complex symmetric Householder transformations. The proposed method is very similar to the well-known deflation technique for real symmetric matrices (Cf. [16], pp. 586-595). In this paper we present an error analysis of one step of the deflation of complex symmetric matrices.
