Depot-specific gene expression profiles during differentiation and transdifferentiation of bovine muscle satellite cells, and differentiation of preadipocytes

Lee, E.J.,Lee, H.J.,Kamli, M.R.,Pokharel, S.,Bhat, A.R.,Lee, Y.H.,Choi, B.H.,Chun, T.,Kang, S.W.,Lee, Y.S.,Kim, J.W.,Schnabel, R.D.,Taylor, J.F.,Choi, I. Academic Press 2012 Genomics Vol.100 No.3

We report a systematic study of gene expression during myogenesis and transdifferentiation in four bovine muscle tissues and of adipogenesis in three bovine fat tissues using DNA microarray analysis. One hundred hybridizations were performed and 7245 genes of known and unknown function were identified as being differentially expressed. Supervised hierarchical cluster analysis of gene expression patterns revealed the tissue specificity of genes. A close relationship in global gene expression observed for adipocyte-like cells derived from muscle and adipocytes derived from intramuscular fat suggests a common origin for these cells. The role of transthyretin in myogenesis is a novel finding. Different genes were highly induced during the transdifferentiation of myogenic satellite cells and in the adipogenesis of preadipocytes, indicating the involvement of different molecular mechanisms in these processes. Induction of CD36 and FABP4 expression in adipocyte-like cells and adipocytes may share a common pathway.

Objective: Women with cervical cancer (CC) found to have positive surgical margins, positive lymph nodes, and/or parametrial invasion receive a survival benefit from postoperative chemoradiotherapy (CRT) vs. radiation therapy (RT) alone. However, older women may not benefit to the same extent, as they are at increased risk of death from non-oncologic causes as well as toxicities from oncologic treatments. This study sought to evaluate whether there was a survival benefit of CRT over RT in elderly patients with cervical cancer. Methods: The National Cancer Database was queried for patients ≥70 years old with newly diagnosed IA2, IB, or IIA CC and positive margins, parametrial invasion, and/or positive nodes on surgical resection. Statistics included logistic regression, Kaplan-Meier overall survival (OS), and Cox proportional hazards modeling analyses. Results: Altogether, 166 patients met inclusion criteria; 62 (37%) underwent postoperative RT and 104 (63%) underwent postoperative CRT. Younger patients and those living in areas of higher income were less likely to receive CRT, while parametrial invasion and nodal involvement were associated with an increased likelihood (p<0.05 for all). There were no OS differences by treatment type. Subgroup analysis by number of risk factors, as well as each of the 3 risk factors separately, also did not reveal any OS differences between cohorts. Conclusion: In the largest such study to date, older women with postoperative risk factor(s) receiving RT alone experienced similar survival as those undergoing CRT. Although causation is not implied, careful patient selection is paramount to balance treatment-related toxicity risks with theoretical outcome benefits.

Botulinum toxin as adjunct therapy in surgical management of a periprosthetic scapular spine fracture: a case report

Alex E. White,Christopher M. Brusalis,David S. Wellman,Samuel A. Taylor 대한견주관절학회 2023 대한견주관절의학회지 Vol.26 No.1

Six months after undergoing reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) a 73-year-old woman sustained a periprosthetic scapular spine fracture following a fall. She was treated with open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF), followed by botulinum toxin injection into the deltoid muscle to temporarily minimize strain at the fracture. Fracture union was achieved by three months, with excellent clinical function more than one year following fracture fixation and full resolution of deltoid function. Scapular spine fracture following RSA can be treated with ORIF and temporary deltoid paralysis using botulinum toxin in the immediate postoperative period to safely support fracture healing.

결로시간 예측을 위한 경험모형의 최적 기상변수

김광수,S.E.Taylor,M.L.Gleason,K.J.Koehler 한국농림기상학회 2002 한국농림기상학회지 Vol.4 No.1

Sets of weather variables for estimation of LWD were evaluated using CART(Classification AndRegression Tree) models. Input variables were sets of hourly observations of air temperature at 0.3-m and1.5-m height, relative humidity(RH), and wind speed that were obtained from May to September in 1997,1998, and 1999 at 15 weather stations in Iowa, Illinois, and Nebraska, USA. A model that included airtemperature at 0.3-m height, RH, and wind speed showed the lowest misidentification rate for wetness.The model estimated presence or absence of wetness more accurately (85.5%) than the CART/SLD model(84.7%) proposed by Gleason et al. (1994). This slight improvement, however, was insufficient to justify theuse of our model, which requires additional measurements, in preference to the CART/SLD model. Thisstudy demonstrated that the use of measurements of temperature, humidity, and wind from automatedstations was sufficient to make LWD estimations of reasonable accuracy when the CART/SLD model wasused. Therefore, implementation of crop disease-warning systems may be facilitated by application of theCART/SLD model that inputs readily obtainable weather observations.

Theoretically Informed Correlates of Hepatitis B Knowledge among Four Asian Groups: The Health Behavior Framework

Background: Few studies have examined theoretically informed constructs related to hepatitis B (HBV) testing, and comparisons across studies are challenging due to lack of uniformity in constructs assessed. The present analysis examined relationships among Health Behavior Framework factors across four Asian American groups to advance the development of theory-based interventions for HBV testing in at-risk populations. Methods: Data were collected from 2007-2010 as part of baseline surveys during four intervention trials promoting HBV testing among Vietnamese-, Hmong-, Korean- and Cambodian-Americans (n = 1,735). Health Behavior Framework constructs assessed included: awareness of HBV, knowledge of transmission routes, perceived susceptibility, perceived severity, doctor recommendation, stigma of HBV infection, and perceived efficacy of testing. Within each group we assessed associations between our intermediate outcome of knowledge of HBV transmission and other constructs, to assess the concurrent validity of our model and instruments. Results: While the absolute levels for Health Behavior Framework factors varied across groups, relationships between knowledge and other factors were generally consistent. This suggests similarities rather than differences with respect to posited drivers of HBV-related behavior. Discussion: Our findings indicate that Health Behavior Framework constructs are applicable to diverse ethnic groups and provide preliminary evidence for the construct validity of the Health Behavior Framework.
