Abstract: We present a measurement of the W boson pair-production cross section in pp collisions at a center-of-mass energy of sqrt[s]=1.96 TeV. The data, collected with the Run II D0 detector at Fermilab, correspond to an integrated luminosity of 224-252 pb(-1) depending on the final state (ee, emu, or mumu). We observe 25 candidates with a background expectation of 8.1+/-0.6(stat)+/-0.6(syst)+/-0.5(lum) events. The probability for an upward fluctuation of the background to produce the observed signal is 2.3x10(-7), equivalent to 5.2 standard deviations. The measurement yields a cross section of 13.8(+4.3)(-3.8)(stat)+1.2-0.9(syst)+/-0.9(lum) pb, in agreement with predictions from the standard model.

Abstract: We present a measurement of the cross section for Z production times the branching fraction to tau leptons, sigma.Br(Z ->tau(+)tau(-)), in p (p) over bar collisions at root s=1.96 TeV in the channel in which one tau decays into mu nu(mu)nu(tau), and the other into hadrons+nu(tau) or e nu(e)nu(tau). The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 226 pb(-1) collected with the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron collider. The final sample contains 2008 candidate events with an estimated background of 55%. From this we obtain sigma.Br(Z ->tau(+)tau(-)) = 237 +/- 15(stat)+/- 18(sys)+/- 15(lum)pb, in agreement with the standard model prediction.

Abstract: Using the data collected with the D0 detector at square root(s) = 1.96 TeV, for integrated luminosities of about 180 pb(-1), we have measured the ratio of inclusive cross sections for pp --> Z + b jet to pp --> Z + jet production. The inclusive Z + b-jet reaction is an important background to searches for the Higgs boson in associated ZH production at the Fermilab Tevatron collider. Our measurement is the first of its kind, and relies on the Z --> e+ e- and Z --> mu+ mu- modes. The combined measurement of the ratio yields 0.021+/-0.005 for hadronic jets with transverse momenta pT > 20 GeV/c and pseudorapidities absolute value(eta) < 2.5, consistent with next-to-leading-order predictions of the standard model.

Abstract: We present measurements of the Lambda(b)(0) lifetime in the exclusive decay channel Lambda(b)(0)-> J/psi Lambda(0), with J/psi ->mu(+)mu(-) and Lambda(0)-> p pi(-), the B-0 lifetime in the decay B-0-> J/psi K-S(0) with J/psi ->mu(+)mu(-) and K-S(0)->pi(+)pi(-), and the ratio of these lifetimes. The analysis is based on approximately 250 pb(-1) of data recorded with the D0 detector in p (p) over bar collisions at root s = 1.96 TeV. The Lambda(b)(0) lifetime is determined to be tau(Lambda(b)(0))=1.22(-0.18)(+0.22)(stat)+/- 0.04(syst) ps, the B-0 lifetime tau(B-0)=1.40(-) (+0.11)(0.10)(stat)+/- 0.03(syst) ps, and the ratio tau(Lambda(b)(0))/tau(B-0)=0.87(-) (+0.17)(0.14)(stat)+/- 0.03(syst). In contrast with previous measurements using semileptonic decays, this is the first determination of the Lambda(b)(0) lifetime based on a fully reconstructed decay channel.

Abstract: We present the results of a search for the flavor-changing neutral current decay B(0)(s)--> mu(+) mu(-) using a data set with integrated luminosity of 240 pb(-1) of pp collisions at sqrt[s] = 1.96 TeV collected with the D0 detector in run II of the Fermilab Tevatron collider. We find the upper limit on the branching fraction to be B(B(0)(s)--> mu(+) mu(-)) < or= 5.0 x 10(-7) at the 95% C.L. assuming no contributions from the decay B(0)(d)--> mu(+) mu(-) in the signal region. This limit is the most stringent upper bound on the branching fraction B(0)(s)--> mu(+) mu(-) to date.

Abstract: Using the exclusive decay B-s(0)-->J/psi(mu(+)mu(-))phi(K+K-), we report the most precise single measurement of the B-s(0) lifetime. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of approximately 220 pb(-1) collected with the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider in 2002-2004. We reconstruct 337 signal candidates, from which we extract the B-s(0) lifetime, tau(B-s(0))=1.444(-0.090)(+0.098)(stat)+/-0.020(sys) ps. We also report a measurement for the lifetime of the B-0 meson using the exclusive decay B-0-->J/psi(mu(+)mu(-))K-*0(892)(K(+)pi(-)). We reconstruct 1370 signal candidates, obtaining tau(B-0)=1.473(-0.050)(+0.052)(stat)+/-0.023(sys) ps, and the ratio of lifetimes, tau(B-s(0))/tau(B-0)=0.980(-0.071)(+0.076)(stat)+/-0.003(sys).

Abstract: We present a study of the decay B_s^0 -> J/psi phi We obtain the CP-odd fraction in the final state at time zero, R_perp = 0.16 +/- 0.10 (stat) +/- 0.02 (syst), the average lifetime of the (B_s, B_sbar) system, tau (B_s^0) =1.39^{+0.13}_{-0.16} (stat) ^{+0.01}_{-0.02} (syst) ps, and the relative width difference between the heavy and light mass eigenstates, Delta Gamma/Gamma = (Gamma_L - Gamma_H)/Gamma =0.24^{+0.28}_{-0.38} (stat) ^{+0.03}_{-0.04} (syst). With the additional constraint from the world average of the B_s^0$lifetime measurements using semileptonic decays, we find tau (B_s^0)= 1.39 +/- 0.06 ~ps and Delta Gamma/\Gamma = 0.25^{+0.14}_{-0.15}. For the ratio of the B_s^0 and B^0 lifetimes we obtain tau(B_s^0)/tau(B^0)} = 0.91 +/- 0.09 (stat) +/- 0.003 (syst)., Comment: submitted to Phys. Rev. Lett. FERMILAB-PUB-05-324-E

Abstract: We report the results of a search for supersymmetry (SUSY) with gauge-mediated breaking in the missing transverse energy distribution of inclusive diphoton events using 263 pb$^{-1}$ of data collected by the D0 experiment at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider in 2002--2004. No excess is observed above the background expected from standard model processes, and lower limits on the masses of the lightest neutralino and chargino of about 108 and 195 GeV, respectively, are set at the 95% confidence level. These are the most stringent limits to date for models with gauge-mediated SUSY breaking with a short-lived neutralino as the next-lightest SUSY particle., Comment: 7 pages, 2 figures

The data correspond to 246 \ipb of integrated luminosity collected by the \D0 experiment at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. Good agreement with the expected background was found, yielding no evidence for large extra dimensions. We set 95% C.L. lower limits on the fundamental Planck scale between 0.85 TeV and 1.27 TeV within several formalisms. These are the most stringent limits achieved in the dimuon channel to date., Comment: 8 pages, 3 figures, 1 table. Published in Phys. Rev. Lett. Minor changes in v2 to match the published version

Abstract: We present a search for anomalous production of heavy-flavor quark jets in association with a W boson at the Fermilab Tevatron ppbar Collider. This search is conducted through an examination of the exclusive jet spectrum of W+jets final states in which the heavy-flavor quark content has been enhanced by requiring at least one tagged jet in an event. Jets are tagged by the combined use of two algorithms, one based on semileptonic decays of b/c hadrons, and the other on their lifetimes. We compare data in e+jets (164 pb-1) and mu+jets (145 pb-1) channels, collected with the D0 detector at sqrt{s}=1.96 TeV, to expectations from the standard model, and set upper limits on anomalous production of such events., Comment: submitted to Phys.

213. [Development and validation of assessment instruments for shared decision making]

Subjects: Physician-Patient Relations, Risk Factors, Surveys and Questionnaires, Decision Making, Humans, Patient Participation
Abstract: The German Ministry for Health and Social Security is funding ten projects to introduce shared decision making into clinical practice. The medical problems the projects are focussing on were chosen from among various diseases (e. g. depression, multiple sclerosis, cancer). The ten projects achieved consensus on a core set of instruments for the measurement of process and outcome of the shared decision making. Instruments developed in German-speaking countries are currently not available. Thus, linguistic and cultural validation had to be performed for the core set instruments. The results of the data analysis as well as patient interviews demonstrate the need for improving these instruments. Therefore, the members of the methodological working group concentrated on the integration of these results in a new instrument. In a first step the construct of "shared decision making" was defined, followed by a definition of the process elements characterising shared decision making. Thereafter, items were developed on the basis of the process elements. The new instrument will now be validated for different diseases.

Abstract: We report the observation of the X(3872) in the J/psipi(+)pi(-) channel, with J/psi decaying to mu(+)mu(-), in p (p) over bar collisions at roots=1.96 TeV. Using approximately 230 pb(-1) of data collected with the Run II D0 detector, we observe 522+/-100 X(3872) candidates. The mass difference between the X(3872) state and the J/psi is measured to be 774.9+/-3.1(stat)+/-3.0(syst) MeV/c(2). We have investigated the production and decay characteristics of the X(3872) and find them to be similar to those of the psi(2S) state.

The mass difference between the X(3872) state and the J/psi is measured to be 774.9+/-3.1(stat)+/-3.0(syst) MeV/c(2). We have investigated the production and decay characteristics of the X(3872) and find them to be similar to those of the psi(2S) state.

Abstract: A search for pair production of doubly charged Higgs bosons in the process p (p) over bar -->H++H---->mu(+)mu(+)mu(-)mu(-) is performed with the D0 run II detector at the Fermilab Tevatron. The analysis is based on a sample of inclusive dimuon data collected at an energy of roots=1.96 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 113 pb(-1). In the absence of a signal, 95% confidence level mass limits of M(H-L(+/-+/-))>118.4 GeV/c(2) and M(H-R(+/-+/-))>98.2 GeV/c(2) are set for left-handed and right-handed doubly charged Higgs bosons, respectively, assuming 100% branching into muon pairs.

Abstract: We report on the decay to two photons of the χ c 0 (1 3 P 0 ) charmonium resonance formed in p p interactions at Fermilab experiment E835. We have measured the product of branching ratios BR(χ c 0 → p p)×BR(χ c 0 →γγ)=(6.52±1.18( stat ) +0.48 −0.72 ( sys ))×10 −8 . Using values from the 2002 PDG, this measurement leads to the partial width Γ ( χ c 0 → γγ )=2.9±0.9 keV.

Abstract: Fermilab experiment E835 has observed (-)pp annihilation production of the charmonium state chi(c0) and its subsequent decay into pi(0)pi(0). Although the resonant amplitude is an order of magnitude smaller than that of the nonresonant continuum production of pi(0)pi(0), an enhanced interference signal is evident. A partial wave expansion is used to extract physics parameters. The amplitudes J=0 and 2, of comparable strength, dominate the expansion. Both are accessed by L=1 in the entrance (-)pp channel. The product of the input and output branching fractions is determined to be B((-)pp-->chi(c0))xB(chi(c0)-->pi(0)pi(0))=(5.09+/-0.81+/-0.25)x10(-7).

Abstract: Purpose To determine the efficacy of photodynamic therapy (PDT) with verteporfin (Visudyne; Novartis AG, Basel, Switzerland) for treatment of corneal neovascularization in a rabbit eye model. Methods Corneal neovascularization was induced in Dutch belted rabbits by placing an intrastromal silk suture near the limbus. Verteporfin was administered by intravenous injection at a dose of 1.5 mg/kg, and the pharmacokinetics of verteporfin distribution in the anterior segment or PDT-induced (laser energy levels 17, 50, and 150 J/cm(2)) regression of corneal blood vessels were then determined. To assess PDT-induced toxicity of the anterior segment, corneal and iris/ciliary body histology, and IOP were evaluated after PDT. Results Verteporfin accumulation in vascularized regions of the cornea and the iris/ciliary body tissue were time dependent and maximum levels achieved at 60 minutes after injection. In rabbits, PDT of corneal vessels using laser energy of 17 or 50 J/cm(2) resulted in 30% to 50% regression of corneal neovascularization; however, in these animals, a rapid regrowth of new blood vessels occurred between 3 and 5 days. In the rabbits receiving PDT using laser energies of 150 J/cm(2), the mean vessel regression was 56%. During the nine days of the laser therapy follow-up period, no vessel regrowth was observed in these rabbits. Histologic examination of the anterior segment after PDT (150 J/cm(2)) showed localized degeneration of the corneal blood vessels without observable change in other anterior segment structures. Conclusions These results provide evidence that PDT can produce significant regression of neovascular corneal vessels with no observable toxicity to the anterior segments. However, the optimal laser energy necessary to induce long-term regression (150 J/cm(2)) was three times that used to treat choroidal neovascularization.

Abstract: To investigate preoperative and postoperative prophylactic treatment with different pharmacological agents before flap cutting and exposure to a diffuse lamellar keratitis (DLK) causative agent.Magill Research Center for Vision Correction, Storm Eye Institute, Medical University of South Carolina, Charleston, South Carolina, USA.The study comprised 48 eyes of 24 Dutch-belted rabbits. Three days before a corneal flap was cut and the corneal interface was exposed to Pseudomonas aeruginosa lipopolysaccharide endotoxin, a DLK causative agent, the eyes were randomly assigned to treatment with a mast-cell stabilizer, a nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drug (NSAID), or a corticosteroid or left without treatment as controls. The treatment was maintained throughout the 1-week follow-up. Slitlamp examinations and photographs were performed at 1, 3, 5, and 7 days; DLK was graded by a masked observer from 0 (no DLK) to IV. Corneal interface scrapings were performed in selected eyes on day 7.At the end of the follow-up, 36 eyes were available for evaluation. At 1 week, 100% of the control eyes and the eyes treated with the mast-cell stabilizer developed DLK; in the NSAID-treated and corticosteroid-treated eyes, the DLK rate was 86% and 70%, respectively. At 1 day, the severity of DLK was significantly lower in eyes treated with the mast-cell stabilizer (0.44) and at 7 days, it was significantly lower in corticosteroid-treated eyes (0.3) than in the control group (1.5 and 1.4, respectively) (P.05, Wilcoxon test). Corneal interface scraping from an eye with grade III DLK showed numerous inflammatory cells.Preoperative and postoperative treatment with corticosteroids significantly reduced the severity of DLK compared to the untreated control eyes in this animal model. Treatment with a mast-cell stabilizer and an NSAID had less effect on the postoperative course of DLK.

Abstract: The resonance parameters of the charmonium ground state, η c (1 1 S 0 ) , have been measured by means of the reaction p p→η c →γγ . The mass and total width are determined to be 2984.1±2.1±1.0 MeV/ c 2 and 20.4 +7.7 −6.7 ±2.0 MeV, respectively. The product of branching ratios B( p p→η c )B(η c →γγ) is determined to be 22.4 +3.8 −3.7 ±2.0 ×10 −8 , from which B(η c →γγ)= 1.87 +0.32+0.95 −0.31−0.50 ×10 −4 , and Γ ( η c → γγ )=3.8 +1.1+1.9 −1.0−1.0 keV are derived using B(η c → p p)=(12±4)×10 −4 from the literature.

Abstract: The aim of this experimental ani-mal study was to induce diffuse lamellar keratitis (DLK), and investigate a prophylactic treatment with corticosteroids.A corneal flap was cut in 40 eyes from 20 Dutch-belted rabbits and the interface inoculated with either Pseudomonas aeruginosa lipopolysaccharide (LPS) endotoxin ( n=21) or Palmolive Ultra soap ( n=19). Half of the eyes were treated with topical corticosteroids and the other half remained untreated. Slitlamp examinations were performed 1, 3, 5 and 7 days postoperatively and DLK was graded from I-IV.At the end of the study 33 eyes were available for evaluation and 94% of the non-treated eyes developed DLK. Out of those eyes treated with steroids 19% developed DLK during the 1 week follow-up period. This was statistically significantly lower ( P=0.018) when compared to the untreated group.Pseudomonas aeruginosa LPS endotoxin as well as Palmolive((R)) Ultra caused a very high rate of DLK in rabbit eyes. The postoperative prophylactic treatment with corticosteroids showed a statistically significant lower DLK rate in this rabbit eye model.

Abstract: The objective of this study is to evaluate the use of a topical non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug in the treatment of induced diffuse lamellar keratitis (DLK) in an animal model.A corneal flap was created in 40 eyes of 20 Dutch-belted rabbits using the ASC microkeratome. The interface was inoculated with either Pseudomonas Aeruginosa Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) endotoxin or Ultra Palmolive liquid dish washer. The rabbits were divided in two groups: Group I (n=20) treated with ketorolac tromethamine ophthalmic solution 0.5% 4 times a day and the group II (n=20) used as control. The rabbits were examined at the slit lamp at day 1, 3, 5 and 7 postoperatively. DLK was graded from I-IV.At the end of the study 31 eyes were available for evaluation. 28 eyes (90%) developed DLK: 86% of the treated group and 94% of the control group during the follow-up. The treated group showed a lower rate of DLK as well as a lower severity. However, no statistically significant difference was found when comparing both groups (P0.05).Pseudomonas aeruginosa LPS endotoxin and Palmolive Ultra can induce DLK in rabbit eyes. The postoperative prophylactic treatment with a topical non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug showed a tendency towards a lower DLK rate as well as the severity of the disease.

Abstract: We report on a study of the angular distributions in the radiative decay of the ${\ensuremath{\chi}}_{c1}$ and ${\ensuremath{\chi}}_{c2}$ states formed in $\overline{p}p$ annihilations. These distributions depend on the dynamics of the formation process and the multipole structure of the radiative decay. Using 2090 ${\ensuremath{\chi}}_{c1}$ and 5908 ${\ensuremath{\chi}}_{c2}$ events, we have measured the fractional magnetic quadrupole amplitude to be ${a}_{2}({\ensuremath{\chi}}_{c1})\ensuremath{\simeq}M2/E1=0.002\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.032,$ and ${a}_{2}({\ensuremath{\chi}}_{c2})=\ensuremath{-}{0.093}_{\ensuremath{-}0.041}^{+0.039}.$ We have also measured the square of the helicity 0 fractional amplitude in the ${\ensuremath{\chi}}_{c2}$ formation process to be ${B}_{0}^{2}=0.13\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.08.$

Abstract: Selective Laser Melting (SLM) is a modern manufacturing method with many applications in medicine, aerospace and automotive industries. SLM processed materials are characterized by good dimensional accuracy and properties comparable or superior to materials obtained by traditional processing methods. In this paper an SLM process was used to obtain 316L stainless steel parts. This paper presents the microstructure, chemical and phase composition, physicochemical and electrochemical properties of 12 groups of tested samples, differentiated by the SLM processing parameters. Based on the investigation, it can be inferred that the selection of the appropriate SLM parameters is very important to determined final material properties. The samples produced with the energy density E = 600 J/mm3 were observed to possess optimum properties – a homogeneous structure, density closest to the desired one, good wettability and pitting corrosion resistance.

Abstract: The mammalian immune system constitutively senses vast quantities of commensal bacteria and their products through pattern recognition receptors, yet excessive immune reactivity is prevented under homeostasis. The intestinal microbiome can influence host susceptibility to extra-intestinal autoimmune disorders. Here we report that polysaccharide A (PSA), a symbiosis factor for the human intestinal commensal Bacteroides fragilis, protects against central nervous system demyelination and inflammation during experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), an animal model for multiple sclerosis, through Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2). TLR2 mediates tissue-specific expansion of a critical regulatory CD39(+) CD4 T-cell subset by PSA. Ablation of CD39 signalling abrogates PSA control of EAE manifestations and inflammatory cytokine responses. Further, CD39 confers immune-regulatory phenotypes to total CD4 T cells and Foxp3(+) CD4 Tregs. Importantly, CD39-deficient CD4 T cells show an enhanced capability to drive EAE progression. Our results demonstrate the therapeutic potential and underlying mechanism by which an intestinal symbiont product modulates CNS-targeted demyelination.

Abstract: HIV disease most commonly affects the young and middle-aged adults, but 11 percent of new cases are diagnosed in persons of 50 years or older. Many physicians are slow to diagnose HIV in older people and rarely question them about HIV-related risk behaviors. This is due, in part, to the common misperception that older people are not at risk for HIV infection, and symptoms of HIV disease, such as weight loss and depression, can be mistaken for symptoms of aging. Because the older patient population often receives delayed diagnosis, it is important for health care providers to screen these patients for HIV infection more actively and often.

Abstract: An experimental method is proposed which allows the complete determination of the complex reflection coefficient for absorptive media for positive and negative values of the momenta. It makes use of magnetic reference layers and is a modification of a recently proposed technique for phase determination based on polarization measurements. The complex reflection coefficient resulting from a simulated application of the method is used for a reconstruction of the scattering density profiles of absorptive non-magnetic media by inversion., Comment: 14 pages, 4 figures, reformulation of abstract, ref.12 added, typographical corrections

Abstract: Energie und Umwelt — seitdem es menschliche Ansiedlungen gibt, stehen sich diese Themen in einem Spannungsfeld gegenuber. Schon fruhe Hochkulturen sind am Energiemangel und der damit in der Regel einhergehenden Zerstorung der Lebensgrundlagen (Abholzung der Walder) zugrunde gegangen. Seit Beginn der Industrialisierung vor uber 150 Jahren stehen sich der Energiebedarf der Menschen und der Schutz der Lebensgrundlagen scheinbar erneut widerspruchlich gegenuber. In den ersten sieben Jahrzehnten dieses Jahrhunderts ist der Energiebedarf weiter sprunghaft angestiegen — mit teilweise katastrophalen Folgen fur die Umwelt.

Abstract: Interleukin 4 (IL-4) is a pleiotropic cytokine. Of the cell types responsive to IL-4, T cells express one IL-4 receptor (IL-4R) type, IL-4Rα/IL-2Rγ (class I IL-4R), whereas endothelial cells express another type, IL-4Rα/IL-13Rα (class II IL-4R). It was hypothesized that IL-4 variants could be generated that would be selective for cell types expressing the different IL-4Rs. A series of IL-4 muteins were generated that were substituted in the region of IL-4 implicated in interactions with IL-2Rγ. These muteins were evaluated in T cell and endothelial cell assays. One of these muteins, containing the mutation Arg-121 to Glu (IL-4/R121E), exhibited complete biological selectivity for T cells, B cells, and monocytes, but showed no activity on endothelial cells. Receptor binding studies indicated that IL-4/R121E retained physical interaction with IL-2Rγ but not IL-13Rα; consistent with this observation, IL-4/R121E was an antagonist of IL-4-induced activity on endothelial cells. IL-4/R121E exhibits a spectrum of activitiesin vitrothat suggest utility in the treatment of certain autoimmune diseases.

238. [Cardiogenic shock in acute myocardial infarct]

Author: J, Malík, J, Murín, J, Kasper, and F, Mikla
Subjects: Adult, Aged, 80 and over, Male, Risk Factors, Myocardial Infarction, Shock, Cardiogenic, Humans, Female, Middle Aged, Aged, Retrospective Studies
Abstract: Based on clinical records (three years) the authors assessed the characteristics of patients with cardiogenic shock during myocardial infarction (48 of 270 patients with infarctions, i.e. 18%). The mortality of these patients was 77%. The incidence of cardiogenic shock evidently rose with age in both sexes and amounted to as much as 35% in the most advanced age groups. Other "risk factors" for the development of shock were arterial hypertension and diabetes. By dividing patients with myocardial infarction and cardiogenic shock into first infarctions (55%) and re-infarctions (45%) it was found that other risk factors for the development of cardiogenic shock are anterior localization of the infarction in first infarctions, and in re-infarctions it is in particular the number of previous infarctions (as they increase the size of the infarction focus). The authors point out that it is essential to pay increased attention to patients with acute infarction to prevent the development of cardiogenic shock (attempt thrombolytic treatment, treatment focused on prevention of ischaemia and arrhythmias). Apply also during its treatment thrombolysis or possibly PTCA.

240. Transforming growth factor beta 1 functions in monocytic differentiation of hematopoietic cells through autocrine and paracrine mechanisms

Abstract: This study examined the role of transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-beta 1) in monocytic differentiation of hematopoietic cells. TGF-beta 1 and retinoic acid (RA) inhibited HL-60 cell growth in a dose-dependent fashion. Treatment of HL-60 cells with a combination of TGF-beta 1 and a 50% optimal dose of RA (RA + TGF-beta 1) resulted in increased growth suppression compared to the individual treatments. Morphological studies revealed that TGF-beta 1 induced promonocytic differentiation (68%), RA induced granulocytic differentiation (98%), and RA + TGF-beta 1 induced monocytic (54%) and granulocytic (46%) differentiation of HL-60 cells. Induction of the monocyte-specific marker, nonspecific esterase, was markedly increased by TGF-beta 1 and RA + TGF-beta 1 treatment but not by RA treatment. Both TGF-beta 1 treatment and RA treatment increased TGF-beta ligand and TGF-beta receptor protein and mRNA levels. To determine whether RA mediated HL-60 cell growth inhibition and differentiation through the autocrine expression of TGF-beta 1, experiments using TGF-beta 1 antisense oligonucleotides or TGF-beta 1-neutralizing antibodies were conducted. TGF-beta 1 antisense oligonucleotides and neutralizing antibodies partially blocked RA-induced inhibition of proliferation, and TGF-beta 1 antisense oligonucleotides reversed RA-induced granulocytic maturation, demonstrating that RA signals autocrine expression of TGF-beta 1 and TGF-beta receptors. The effect of TGF-beta 1 on normal hematopoiesis was also studied using primary human fetal liver cells. TGF-beta 1 alone and in the presence of interleukin 3 promoted macrophage differentiation of primitive fetal liver cells. Cell surface expression of the monocyte/macrophage-specific marker c-fms was increased 3.1-fold following TGF-beta 1 treatment. In addition, TGF-beta 1-treated cells displayed a 51% increase in phagocytosis as compared to interleukin 3-treated control cells. These studies define a role for TGF-beta 1 in the autocrine and paracrine regulation of monocyte/macrophage differentiation.

241. p120-v-Abl expression overcomes TGF-beta1 negative regulation of c-myc transcription but not cell growth

Abstract: Transformation of interleukin-3 dependent (IL-3) 32D-123 myeloid cells by p120-v-Abl produced the factor-independent 32D-abl cell line. In 32D-abl cells, myc expression was found to be significantly higher than in the parental cells and was correlated with increased E2F-1 protein expression and DNA binding ability. Surprisingly, in 32D-abl cells, TGF-beta1, a potent G1/S inhibitor of 32D-123 and 32D-abl cell growth, increased E2F transactivation as shown by increased c-myc promoter-CAT and GAL4-E2F-1 activity. In addition, TGF-beta1 was also found to increase E2F-1 protein levels but had no effect on steady-state retinoblastoma (RB) protein levels or phosphorylation state. In the absence of TGF-beta1, transient expression of RB in v-Abl expressing cells resulted in decreased c-myc transcription, inhibition of GAL4-E2F-1 driven transactivation and inhibition of cellular proliferation. RB and v-Abl were found to physically associate in vivo and in vitro via v-Abl's ATP binding region. In summary, these studies established that in myeloid cells: (1) v-Abl binds RB resulting in increased E2F-1-driven c-myc transcription, and (2) an alternative pathway exists for TGF-beta1-mediated growth inhibition of v-Abl-transformed cells, in which increased rather than decreased E2F-mediated c-myc transcription is observed.

242. Growth inhibition and apoptosis of RL human B lymphoma cells by vitamin E succinate and retinoic acid: role for transforming growth factor beta

Abstract: Vitamin E succinate (VES) and all-trans-retinoic acid (RA) were determined to be growth inhibitory for B lymphoma cells in vitro. RL, an Epstein-Barr virus-negative human cell line, was growth suppressed 87% with VES (5 micrograms/ml) and 58% with RA (10(-6) M); both agents blocked the cells in G1 of the cell cycle. The antiproliferative effect of VES seems to be independent of its potential antioxidant property because both fat- and water-soluble antioxidants were found to have no effect on RL cell proliferation. VES and RA increased IgM antibody concentrations in cell supernatants 5.8- and 9.9-fold, respectively. DNA fragmentation and flow cytometry studies showed VES- and RA-induced apoptosis in RL cells. VES- and RA-treated RL cells gradually underwent apoptosis over time with maximal induction occurring at days 6 and 5 of culture, respectively. A role for transforming growth factor beta in VES- and RA-mediated RL growth suppression is indicated by increased ligand and type II receptor protein expression. Furthermore, neutralizing antibodies to transforming growth factor beta 1 partially blocked the growth suppressive action of both VES and RA, thus suggesting that a TGF-beta autocrine negative loop was involved in VES and RA suppression of RL cell growth.

Abstract: OBJECTIVE To assess the knowledge of osteoporosis risk factors among young women, their beliefs about the disease, and to what extent they practice preventive behaviors, such as adequate calcium intake and physical activity. DESIGN Cross-sectional survey. SETTING/PARTICIPANTS One hundred twenty-seven women (mean age, 19.6 years; 92% were white) enrolled in a required undergraduate health course at a midwestern state university. RESULTS One hundred fourteen (90%) of the survey respondents had heard about osteoporosis, but only 49 (43%) of the 114 had received information from either a health care provider or a school. There was a significant relationship between receiving osteoporosis information and the ability to correctly identify risk factors (P < or = .006). Only 6.7% of the women reported getting both adequate "osteoprotective" exercise per week and the recommended 1200 mg of calcium per day. Respondents believed that it was unlikely that osteoporosis would develop in them. They also expressed less responsibility and concern about osteoporosis and believed that it is less serious than other common causes of morbidity and mortality in women, such as heart disease and breast cancer (P < or = .02). There was no significant relationship between risk-factor identification and exercise habits, calcium intake, or beliefs about osteoporosis. CONCLUSIONS The majority of young women are not consuming the recommended daily amount of calcium and are lacking sufficient osteoprotective exercise for building healthy bone. Health care providers and educational institutions either have missed opportunities to educate young women about osteoporosis or such information has not been received and retained. Increasing levels of osteoporosis awareness may not be associated with influencing beliefs or behaviors. However, because of the importance of building an adequate bone mass in early life, our data suggest that the development and evaluation of comprehensive osteoporosis educational interventions targeted at younger women are warranted.

Abstract: 1. To study their contribution to the vestibulocollic reflex, we have studied, in decerebrate paralyzed cats, the effect of sinusoidal vestibular stimulation in multiple vertical planes on the spontaneous activity of neurons in the C3 ventral horn. Antidromic microstimulation was used to identify 17/42 neurons as commissural; 10 of these were confirmed to have a projection to the contralateral ventral horn. 2. Dynamics of the responses of spontaneously firing neurons were studied with 0.05–1 Hz sinusoidal stimuli delivered near the plane of rotation that produced maximal modulation of neuron activity (response vector orientation). On the basis of their responses, we classified 38 neurons as receiving otolith, semicircular canal, or otolith + canal input. All three response types were found among commissure and nonantidromic neurons. 3. Two-thirds of neuron response vector orientations pointed contralaterally. They were either near the anterior or posterior canal planes or in the roll quadrant. In the case of neurons with input from canals, the latter indicates convergence from the vertical canals on the same side. There were almost no vectors in the pitch quadrants. The distribution of response vector orientations resembles that seen in the vestibular nuclei and pontomedullary reticular formation, suggesting that commissural neurons may not make a new contribution to spatial processing in the vertical vestibulocollic reflex. 4. It is presumed that commissural neurons are premotor. If so, some have the properties to be in the pathway between the contralateral utricle and neck motoneurons. More generally, their actions could modify the effectiveness of vestibulospinal and reticulospinal fibers that have similar spatial properties and make synapses with neck motoneurons.

Abstract: Purpose. A hospital-based outreach program was initiated to screen minority children in medically underserved areas of New York City for musculoskeletal diseases. We examine the number of such diseases in this population, and evaluate the program's success to facilitate referral and follow-up of children with referral conditions. Methods. Screenings were conducted at schools and day-care centers. Children requiringfurther evaluation were referred to the sponsoring hospital, a major referral center for musculoskeletal diseases. Bilingual educational strategies, transportation reimbursement, and coverage for uninsured children were used to foster participation and increase follow-up. Results. A total of 2,523 children were screened, 168 (6.7%) of whom were referred forone of 45 different musculoskeletal disorders, including scoliosis and back problems, foot problems, in- and out-toeing, knee or hip pain, and problems of joint range of motion. Sixtyseven percent of those referred had a follow-up medical consultation. Conclusions. A substantial proportion of urban minority children have previously undiagnosed musculoskeletal disorders that, if left untreated, have the potential to lead to significant disability in later life. Targeted screening programs can be effective in identifying such disorders, and providing an apportunity for early diagnosis, treatment, and education.

246. [Thrombolytic therapy of acute myocardial infarct]

Author: J, Murín, J, Kasper, J, Bulas, and R, Uhliar
Subjects: Adult, Male, Myocardial Infarction, Humans, Female, Thrombolytic Therapy, Middle Aged
Abstract: In the period of two years the authors treated at the coronary care unit 146 patients inflicted by the acute myocardial infarction (AMI). In 15 of them (13 men, 2 women, 13 times Q and twice non-Q, 5 times anterior, 10 times inferior) they performed intravenous thrombolytic treatment by use of streptokinase. The success rate of the thrombolytic therapy was evaluated by noninvasive markers: 1.) rapid withdrawal of chest pain, 2.) rapid (in 6 hours) and essential improvement of ST segment elevation and 3.) presence of reperfusion arrhythmias (in 6 hours). The authors detected insufficient medicinal conciousness among their health district population as regard to their response after the AMI origin (absolute majority of patients delayed their arrival). Minor complications due to therapy (allergy and minor local hemorrhage) occurred in 4 patients. Nobody died. Only those cases were considered as being successful, in which all three success rate markers were present. This condition was fulfilled in 8 patients (i.e. in 53% of cases) and with minor insufficiencies in further two patients (which would increase the percentage of the success rate to 67%). This success rate of the thrombolytic therapy ranges within the limits given by literature. In five patients the authors evaluated the behaviour of the left ventricular asynergy (its range and index) prior to and following the thrombolytic therapy and this examination they consider to be appropriate for observance of the thrombolytic therapy success rate in patients with AMI. (Tab. 3, Ref. 20.).

247. [Changes in hemostasis in ischemic heart disease]

Author: A, Hromec, A, Okrucká, J, Murín, and J, Kasper
Subjects: Adult, Male, Hemostasis, Risk Factors, Myocardial Infarction, Humans, Coronary Disease, Female, Thrombolytic Therapy, Blood Coagulation Tests, Middle Aged
Abstract: The relationship between changes in blood coagulation, the occurrence and severity of risk factors of ischemic heart disease and the clinical condition of the patient was investigated. The at risk group of patients 42.2% had more than 3 pathological parameters. Intravascular blood coagulation was not activated in any of the patients. In patients with acute myocardial infarction (MI), 62.2% had more than 3 pathological parameters on the first day of MI development. Demonstrable activation of intravascular blood coagulation was found in 28.2% of these patients. On day 5 of MI, activation of intravascular blood coagulation was recorded in 57.7% of the patients treated by classical approach and in 15.4-30.8% of the patients on thrombolytic treatment. In the at risk group, primary hemostasis and the fibrinolytic system were more affected, in patients with MI the whole hemostatic mechanism was involved. On day 5 of MI, in patients with classical therapy pathological laboratory findings still persisted or were even more deteriorated, particularly increases in fibrinogen level. At that time, in patients on thrombolytic therapy no substantial changes of initial values were recorded. No correlation was found to exist between changes in hemostasis and the risk profile or between changes in hemostasis and the clinical severity of MI. The obtained results justify the administration of antithrombotic substances, especially in patients with unstable angina pectoris. On observing time constraints, administration of thrombolytics is justified in MI. (Fig. 9, Ref. 25.)

248. [Arrhythmia in acute myocardial infarct]

Author: J, Murín and J, Kasper
Subjects: Myocardial Infarction, Humans, Arrhythmias, Cardiac
Abstract: The authors present a review of optimal treatment and prevention of dysrhythmias in the acute stage of myocardial infarction (AIM). They emphasize the necessity to shorten the pre-hospitalization stage of the disease (the prevalence of malignant dysrhythmias culminates) and elaborate in every hospital region an optimal plan of emergency care (ensure CPR, electrical defibrillation, pharmacological prevention of VT and VF). They draw attention to the fundamental importance of the therapeutic limitation ensuing from the size of the focus which implies at the same time prevention and treatment of an impaired cardiac rhythm. The authors recommend early recanalization treatment with subsequent anti-thrombocytic treatment, and if contraindications are absent, standard administration of beta blockers in the early stage of AIM. They draw attention to the asset of anti-arrhythmic treatment as well as to its undesirable effects. They discuss also indications and complications of temporary transvenous cardiac pacing.

250. Influence of heparin and a low molecular weight heparinoid on specific endogenous and exogenous fibrinolytic factors during rest and exercise

Abstract: The effects of heparin (5,000 IU i.v.) and the low molecular weight heparinoid Org 10172 (Orgaran) (3,250 anti-Xa units i.v.) on components of the fibrinolytic system were studied in two double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled, cross-over trials using healthy subjects. In study A (n = 6) the effects were studied during rest and standardized exercise and in study B (n = 6) during a low dose infusion of recombinant tissue-type plasminogen activator (rt-PA; 80 micrograms over 16 min). At rest, heparin and Org 10172 did not influence the plasma concentrations of endogenous t-PA antigen and activity, urokinase-type PA (u-PA) antigen, plasmin activatable pro-urokinase (scu-PA), active urokinase (tcu-PA) and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) antigen. Recombinant t-PA antigen and activity during rt-PA infusion were also not affected. During exercise, neither heparin nor Org 10172 influenced the area under the curve (AUC) of t-PA and u-PA antigen and t-PA activity when compared with placebo. Unexpectedly, after heparin the AUC of t-PA activity was 49% larger (range +19 to +245%) than after Org 10172 (p0.05). The last difference was considered spurious, scu-PA, tcu-PA and PAI-1 antigen levels at 2 min after termination of exercise were unaffected by both compounds (p0.05). Sulphated polysaccharides do not increase fibrinolytic activity of the plasma by changing the concentrations of the components of the fibrinolytic system.
