Abstract

Isolated dog mastocytoma cells sensitized with dog anti-ragweed IgE and challenged with ragweed antigen or incubated with ionophore A23187 or the carboxy-terminal dodecapeptide of platelet factor 4, PF4(59-70), release histamine and concurrently generate leukotrienes B4, C4, and D4. In contrast, the exposure of mastocytoma cells to 0.1-3 micrograms/ml of 15-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (15-HETE) stimulates selectively the generation of leukotrienes, in the absence of histamine release, while 0.1-1 micrograms/ml of compound 48/80 releases histamine without enhancing the generation of leukotrienes. That natural stimuli are capable of selectively activating one synthetic or secretory compartment of mast cells suggests that separate subsets of receptors as well as different biochemical events may serve to mobilize each class of mediators.

Abstract

The effect of colchicine on spontaneous in vitro contractions of bile canaliculi was assessed using time-lapse cinephotomicrography. Colchicine 2.5 microM and/or taurocholate 5 microM were added to the culture medium. The experiment was long-term, lasting for 13 h. Frame-by-frame analysis revealed that colchicine, after a lag period of 4 h, suppressed the number of contractions over the remainder of the 13-h experimental period, even in the presence of taurocholate (p less than 0.001). The number of contractions per hour decreased in both the colchicine and combined colchicine-plus-taurocholate-treated groups compared to untreated and taurocholate-treated controls. These results do not necessarily mean that colchicine has an effect on the contractile process per se, since the contractions, when they occurred, appeared normal. It is likely that the canalicular motility events are related to bile secretion. The reduction in contractions after a lag period likely indicates that secretion is impaired, and hence the need for contractions is reduced. These results support the view that for normal canalicular bile secretory function, microtubules as well as a normal microfilament system are required.

7. VSX2 and ASCL1 are indicators of neurogenic competence in human retinal progenitor cultures

Abstract

Three dimensional (3D) culture techniques are frequently used for CNS tissue modeling and organoid production, including generation of retina-like tissues. A proposed advantage of these 3D systems is their potential to more closely approximate in vivo cellular microenvironments, which could translate into improved manufacture and/or maintenance of neuronal populations. Visual System Homeobox 2 (VSX2) labels all multipotent retinal progenitor cells (RPCs) and is known to play important roles in retinal development. In contrast, the proneural transcription factor Acheate scute-like 1 (ASCL1) is expressed transiently in a subset of RPCs, but is required for the production of most retinal neurons. Therefore, we asked whether the presence of VSX2 and ASCL1 could gauge neurogenic potential in 3D retinal cultures derived from human prenatal tissue or ES cells (hESCs). Short term prenatal 3D retinal cultures displayed multiple characteristics of human RPCs (hRPCs) found in situ, including robust expression of VSX2. Upon initiation of hRPC differentiation, there was a small increase in co-labeling of VSX2+ cells with ASCL1, along with a modest increase in the number of PKCa+ neurons. However, 3D prenatal retinal cultures lost expression of VSX2 and ASCL1 over time while concurrently becoming refractory to neuronal differentiation. Conversely, 3D optic vesicles derived from hESCs (hESC-OVs) maintained a robust VSX2+ hRPC population that could spontaneously co-express ASCL1 and generate photoreceptors and other retinal neurons for an extended period of time. These results show that VSX2 and ASCL1 can serve as markers for neurogenic potential in cultured hRPCs. Furthermore, unlike hESC-OVs, maintenance of 3D structure does not independently convey an advantage in the culture of prenatal hRPCs, further illustrating differences in the survival and differentiation requirements of hRPCs extracted from native tissue vs. those generated entirely in vitro.

Abstract

Rhabdomyosarcoma is a common childhood malignancy that may occasionally occur as a component of a mixed mesenchymal tumor, e.g., a triton tumor or malignant ectomesenchymoma. A case is reported of a 13-year-old boy who had resection of a paratesticular embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma with subsequent radiation and chemotherapy. Two years later, a retroperitoneal metastasis was resected. Histology showed a mixture of rhabdomyoblasts, ganglion cells, and a third population of cells with combined features of these two distinct cell types. Electron microscopy confirmed the presence of rhabdomyoblasts with characteristic bundles of myofilaments and Z-band material, and ganglion cells with prominent nuclei and nucleoli, rough endoplasmic reticulum, dense core granules, filaments, and tubules. Notably, the third cell population showed features of both rhabdomyoblasts and ganglion cells. Immunohistochemistry confirmed the mixed population of rhabdomyoblasts (positive for vimentin, desmin, negative for S-100, NSE), ganglion cells (positive for S-100 and NSE, negative for vimentin and desmin), and the third population expressing all test antigens. The features of this metastatic lesion are those of a malignant ectomesenchymoma with combined rhabdomyosarcoma and ganglioneuroma components. It is postulated that this lesion results from biphenotypic expression of tumor cells that previously expressed only rhabdomyoblastic differentiation. The role of prior chemotherapy and radiotherapy in this particular case is unclear.

Abstract

Using the 18.8 pb−1 of data accumulated at LEP in 1990 and 1991 with the ALEPH detector, a direct test of neutral current CP-invariance is performed by a search for CP-odd correlations in Z decays to τ pairs where both τ decay modes are identified. No evidence for CP-violation is observed. The weak dipole moment of the τ has been measured to be dτ(mZ) = (1.3 ± 1.4 ± 0.1) × 10−17 e·cm which results in an upper limit on the weak dipole moment of |dτ(mZ)| ⩽ 3.7 × 10−17 e·cm with 95% confidence level.

Abstract

B0B0BAR oscillation is studied using almost a million hadronic Z decays collected by the ALEPH experiment at LEP. Events are selected with two leptons present, on opposite sides of the event and with high transverse momentum. The leptons are expected to be dominantly from b decays; a topological vertexing technique is applied to measure the decay length of the b hadrons, and their momentum is determined using an energy-flow method. The fraction of events in which the leptons have the same charge is studied as a function of the measured decay time, and clear evidence is seen for the time-dependent nature of B(d)0B(d)0BAR mixing. The frequency measured for the oscillation corresponds to a mass difference for the B(d)0 mass eigenstates DELTAm(d) = (3.3(+0.5/-0.4) +/- 0.7) x 10(-4) eV/C2. Allowing a second frequency component for the B(s)0 a high value for DELTAm(s) is favoured, leading to the limit DELTAm(s) > 12 x 10(-4) eV/c2 (95% CL), from which (DELTAm/GAMMA)s > 2.0 is derived.

Abstract

The production of charmed mesons $$\mathop {D^0 }\limits^{( - )} $$ ,D ± , andD *± is studied in a sample of 478,000 hadronicZ decays. The production rates are measured to be $$\begin{gathered} \frac{{\Gamma ({\rm Z} \to D^{* \pm } X)}}{{\Gamma _{had} }} = 0.187 \pm 0.015(\exp .) \pm 0.013(BR), \hfill \\ \frac{{\Gamma ({\rm Z} \to D^ \pm X)}}{{\Gamma _{had} }} = 0.251 \pm 0.026(\exp .) \pm 0.025(BR), \hfill \\ \frac{{\Gamma ({\rm Z} \to \mathop {D^0 }\limits^{( - )} X)}}{{\Gamma _{had} }} = 0.518 \pm 0.052(\exp .) \pm 0.035(BR), \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $$ where the errors from this analysis are separated from those coming from theD branching ratios (BR). TheD *± momentum distribution is extracted separately for $$Z \to c\bar c$$ and $$Z \to b\bar b$$ events with the help of event shape variables. It is consistent with the prediction of the JETSET Monte Carlo program after adjustment of the charm fragmentation function. Constraining the shape of the $$Z \to b\bar b$$ contribution, the average fraction of the beam energy taken by aD * meson produced in the fragmentation of a charm quark is extracted by a parametric fit to be c =0.495±0.011±0.007. Evidence forD **0 (D 1(2420)0 and/orD 2 * (2460)0) production is found in the $$D^{* \pm } \pi ^ \mp $$ channel, accounting for a fraction (18±5±2)% of allD *± production. The relative production of vector and pseudoscalar mesons is dicussed, together with the possible effects ofD ** production. Thec-quark forward-backwardZ-pole asymmetry is detrmined from that of high momentumD *± to beA =(7.7±4.4)%.

Abstract

The lifetime of the B(s)0 has been measured in a data sample of 889 000 hadronic events recorded with the ALEPH detector at LEP. After background subtraction 30.8 +/- 6.9 events are attributed to the semileptonic decay of the B(S)0 to a D(S)- and an opposite-sign lepton. A maximum-likelihood fit to the distribution of the proper times of these events yields a B(s)0 lifetime of tau(B)s = 1.92 (-0.35)+0.45 +/- 0.04 ps.

Abstract

A measurement of the partial width ratio GAMMA(bbBAR)/GAMMA(had) using a method which tags the Z --> bbBAR decays through the lifetime of the produced heavy hadrons is presented. This method relies on the tracking precision afforded by a double-sided silicon vertex detector. The tag algorithm makes a probabilistic interpretation of three-dimensional track impact parameters, using the data to measure the resolution. By tagging the two b hadrons separately, both GAMMA(bbBAR)/GAMMA(had) and the tag efficiency can be determined from the data. For a 26% efficiency of tagging a single b hadron within the vertex detector solid angle coverage, a purity of 96% is achieved. A value of GAMMA(bbBAR)/GAMMA(had) = 0.2192+/-0.0022(stat.)+/-0.0026(syst.)+/-0.0016(GAMMA(ccBAR)/GAMMA(had)) is found. Combining this result with other recent ALEPH GAMMA(bbBAR)/GAMMA(had) measurements gives a 95% confidence upper limit on the Standard Model top mass of M(t) < 228 GeV.

Abstract

The result of a search for high mass photon pairs from the processes e+ e- - ffgammagammaBAR (f = e, mu, tau, nu and q) with the ALEPH detector is reported. The result for f = e, mu and tau is to be compared with the observation of 4 events by the L3 Collaboration with invariant masses, M(gammagamma), of the two photons near 60 GeV. From a data sample approximately twice as large taken from 1990 to 1992, 6 events are found with M(gammagamma) distributed between 50 GeV and 72 GeV, while 4.9 events are expected from a QED calculation. There is no evidence for a mass peak; only one event (mu+ mu-gammagamma) at M(gammagamma) = 59.4 +/- 0.2 GeV is compatible with the L3 observation. In addition, for M(gammagamma) > 50 GeV, no event is found for e+e- - qqgammagammaBAR and only one event is found consistent with e+e- --> nunugammagamma; this event has M(gammagamma) = 58.5 +/- 1.9 GeV. High mass photon pair events have also been searched for in gammagamma collisions. This allows one to set an upper limit of 50 MeV for the width of an assumed resonance decaying to photon pairs.

Abstract

In a sample of about 1.1 million hadronic Z decays recorded with the ALEPH detector during the 1990-1992 running of LEP, two unambiguous B(S) meson candidates were observed. From these events the mass of the B(S) meson has been measured to be 5.3686 +/- 0.0056 (stat.) +/- 0.0015 (syst.) GeV.

Abstract

The time dependence of B(d)0-B(d)0BAR oscillations has been observed using events with a D*, decaying into a D0pi+, and a lepton in opposite hemispheres. The time dependence of the oscillations is derived from the displacement of the D0 vertex and the D*-lepton charge correlation. From a fit for the oscillation frequency the mass difference of the B(d)0 states is measured: DELTAm = [3.44(-0.70)+0.65(stat.)-0.20(+0.26)(syst.)] x 10(-4) eV/c2.

Abstract

An analysis of gammagamma interactions has been performed using untagged hadronic data obtained by the ALEPH detector at LEP. The data at low transverse momentum (p(t)) are well reproduced by a model based on the vector meson dominance mechanism (VDM). At high p(t)thrust the presence of hard scattering processes is demonstrated. This component is well described in shape and normalization by a QCD calculation.

Abstract

The branching fraction of Z --> bbBAR relative to all hadronic decays of the Z has been measured using event shape variables to preferentially select Z --> bbBAR events. The method chosen applies a combination of shape discriminators and the selection of high transverse momentum leptons to event hemispheres. From a sample of 440000 hadronic Z decays collected with the ALEPH detector at LEP, the ratio GAMMA(bbBAR)/GAMMA(had) = 0.228+/-0.005(stat.)+/-0.005(syst.) is measured.

Abstract

Contact interactions are searched for using the differential cross sections for the reactions e+e- --> e+e-, e+e- --> mu+mu-, e+e- --> tau+tau- and e+e --> gammagamma measured at 12 energies around the Z peak and corresponding to about 20 pb-1 of cumulated luminosity. Four-fermion contact term models assuming various chiralities of lepton currents are fitted to the lepton data and lower limits on the energy scale LAMBDA of such terms are set at 95% c.l. The limits vary in the range 0.9-4.7 TeV, depending on the model and on the lepton flavour. The eegammagamma contact terms are searched for assuming various chiralities. Limits on the energy scale LAMBDA between 79 and 130 GeV are extracted from the data. The results are compared and combined with those reported at lower energies.

Abstract

A data sample corresponding to 1.23 million hadronic Z decays collected by the ALEPH detector at LEP has been searched for signals of the production of a non-minimal CP-even Higgs boson h in the reaction e+e- --> hZ*. The h decay modes considered were: those of the minimal standard model Higgs boson, with modified branching ratios; decays into a pair of CP-odd Higgs bosons A; and decays into invisible final states. Only one event was found, a very acoplanar e+e- pair which could originate from the standard model background process e+e- --> e+e-nunuBAR. Upper limits for the cross-section of the reaction e+e- --> hZ* have been derived as a function Of m(h), the mass of the Higgs boson h. In the case of invisible decays, the 95% CL lower limit on m(h) is 65 GeV/c2 for a production cross-section equal to that of a minimal standard model Higgs boson. When combined with previous ALEPH results on the reaction e+e- --> hA, these cross-section upper limits exclude a domain in the (m(h), M(A)) plane of the MSSM such that, if invisible h and A decays can be neglected, 95% CL lower limits of 44 and 21 GeV/c2 result for m(h) and m(A), respectively, independent of the other parameters of the model.

Abstract

A sample of 4148 four-jet events observed in the ALEPH-detector at LEP in 1989 and 1990 is used to test the underlying gauge group of strong interactions. A fit to the ratios of the "colour factors" C(F), N(C) and T(F), which determine the differential cross sections, yields N(C)/C(F) = 2.24 +/- 0.32stat +/- 0.24syst and T(F)/C(F) = 0.58 +/- 0.17stat +/- 0.23syst. This is in agreement with the values expected from QCD: N(C)/C(F) = 2.25 and T(F)/C(F) = 0.375. The non-zero value of N(C)/C(F) constitutes direct evidence for the existence of the triple-gluon coupling and excludes any abelian gauge theory by more than five standard deviations.

Abstract

In 451 000 hadronic Z0 decays, recorded with the ALEPH detector at LEP, the yields of lambdal- and lambdal+ combinations are measured. Semileptonic decays of b baryons result in a signal of 122 +/- 18(stat.)+22/-23(syst.) lambdal- combinations. From a fit to the impact parameter distribution of the leptons in the lambdal- sample, the lifetime of b baryons is measured to be 1.12+0.32/-0.29(stat.) +/- 0.16(syst.) ps.

Abstract

The decays eta --> gammagamma and eta' --> etapi+pi- have been observed in hadronic decays of the Z produced at LEP. The fragmentation functions of both the eta and eta' have been measured. The measured multiplicities for x > 0.1 are 0.298 +/- 0.023 +/- 0.021 and 0.068 +/- 0.018 +/- 0.016 for eta and eta' respectively. While the fragmentation function for the eta is fairly well described by the JETSET Monte Carlo, it is found that the production rate of the eta' is a factor of four less than the corresponding prediction.

Abstract

The properties of the Z resonance are measured on the basis of 190000 Z decays into fermion pairs collected with the ALEPH detector at LEP. Assuming lepton universality, M(Z) = (91.182 +/- 0.009exp +/- 0.020L;P) GeV, GAMMA(Z) = (2484 +/- 17) MeV, sigma(had)0 = (41.44 +/- 0.36) nb, and GAMMA(had)/GAMMA(ll) = 21.00 +/- 0.20. The corresponding number of light neutrino species is 2.97 +/- 0.07. The forward-backward asymmetry in leptonic decays is used to determine the ratio of vector to axial-vector coupling constants of leptons: g(V)2(M(Z)2)/g(A)2(M(Z)2) = 0.0072 +/- 0.0027. Combining these results with ALEPH results on quark charge and bbBAR asymmetries, and tau-polarization, sin2 theta(W)(M(Z)2) = 0.2312 +/- 0.0018. In the context of the Minimal Standard Model, limits are placed on the top-quark mass.

Abstract

From a data sample of 450 000 hadronic events recorded with the ALEPH detector at LEP, 92 +/- 10 events are observed containing a J/psi meson decaying to mu+mu- or e+e-. From these data the measured inclusive branching fraction for a b flavoured hadron to decay to a J/psi is BR(b --> J/psiX) = (1.21 +/- 0.13 (stat.) +/- 0.08 (syst.))%, and the average b hadron lifetime in the events tagged with a J/psi is tau(b) = 1.35(-0.17)+0.19 +/- 0.05 ps. Five events are observed consistent with the exclusive decay B+/- --> J/psiK+/- and from these events the exclusive branching fraction is measured to be BR(B+/- --> J/psiK+/-) = (0.22 +/- 0.10 +/- 0.02)%. Upper limits for other exclusive branching ratios are given.

Abstract

Results on B0-BBAR0 mixing in e+e- annihilation at LEP are reported. A new method is used, where the charge of one b quark is tagged by a high-p, high-p(perpendicular-to) electron or muon, and the charge of the other is extracted from the momentum-weighted average of the charges of jet fragments. Based on the analysis of 180000 hadronic Z decays produced in the ALEPH detector, f(d-chi-d) + 0.72f(s-chi-s) = 0.113 +/- 0.018 (stat.) +/- 0.027 (syst.) is obtained. Combining this result with the ALEPH dilepton measurement yields chi = 0.129 +/- 0.022.

Abstract

Using the 18.8 pb-1 of data accumulated at LEP in 1990 and 1991 with the ALEPH detector, a direct test of neutral current CP-invariance is performed by a search for CP-odd correlations in Z decays to tau pairs where both tau decay modes are identified. No evidence for CP-violation is observed. The weak dipole moment of the tau has been measured to be d(tau)(m(Z)) = (1.3 +/- 1.4 +/- 0.1) x 10(-17)e.cm which results in an upper timit on the weak dipole moment of \d(tau)(m(Z))\ less-than-or-equal-to 3.7 x 10(-17)e.cm with 95% confidence level.

Abstract

Using 109 000 hadronic events obtained with the ALEPH detector at LEP at energies close to the Z resonance peak, the strong coupling constant alpha(s) (M(Z)2) is determined from an analysis of the global event shape variables thrust, heavy jet mass and the differential two-jet rate based on the k(T)-clustering scheme. The analysis uses improved theoretical predictions in which leading and next-to-leading logarithms, resummed to all orders, supplement second order expressions. After combining the results from all variables, alpha(s) (M(Z)2) is measured to be 0. 12 5 +/- 0.005, where the error is the quadratic sum of experimental and theoretical uncertainties, and is dominated by the latter.

Abstract

Distributions are presented of event shape variables, jet roduction rates and charged particle momenta obtained from 53 000 hadronic Z decays. They are compared to the predictions of the QCD + hadronization models JETSET, ARIADNE and HERWIG, and are used to optimize several model parameters. The JETSET and ARIADNE coherent parton shower (PS) models with running alpha(s) and string fragmentation yield the best description of the data. The HERWIG parton shower model with cluster fragmentation fits the data less well. The data are in better agreement with JETSET PS than with JETSET O(alpha(s)2) matrix elements (ME) even when the renormalization scale is optimized.

Abstract

In 450000 hadronic Z decays recorded with the ALEPH detector at LEP, the yields of D(s)-l+ and LAMBDA(c)+l- combinations have been measured. 16.0 +/- 4.3 D(s)-l+ combinations were observed in the D(s)- --> phipi- channel and 17.0 +/- 4.5 combinations were observed in the D(s)- --> K*0K- channel. 21.0 +/- 5.0 LAMBDA(c)+l- combinations were observed, with the LAMBDA(c)+ reconstructed in the decay mode LAMBDA(c)+ --> pK-pi+. These events provide evidence for the decays B(s) --> D(s)-Xl+nu and LAMBDA(b) --> LAMBDA(c)+Xl-nuBAR. Assuming that the B(s) and LAMBDA(b) semileptonic decays are dominantly three-body, these observed yields, after background subtraction, translate into the following product branching ratios: Br(bBAR --> B(s))Br(B(s) --> D(s)-Xl+nu) = 0.040 +/- 0.011 +0.010/-0.012, Br(b --> LAMBDA(b))Br(LAMBDA(b) --> LAMBDA(c)+Xl-nuBAR) = 0.030 +/- 0.007 +/- 0.009.

Abstract

In 160 000 hadronic Z decays recorded with the ALEPH detector at LEP, the yields of Λl− and Λl+ combinations have been measured. The observed excess of Λl− over Λl+ of 53±13 is interpreted as evidence for b baryons and their semileptonic decay. Assuming that three body decay processes such as Λ b →Λ c + l − v dominate the semileptonic decay of b baryons, this ex cess corresponds to a product branching ratio BR ( b →Λ b )· BR (Λ b →Λ c + l − v )· BR (Λ c + →ΛX) = (0.95±0.22 ( stat. )±0.21( syst. ))% , where Λb and Λc+ denote the bottom and charm baryons respectively.

Abstract

The result of a search for high mass photon pairs from the processes e+e- --> ffγγ (f = e, μ, τ, v and q) with the ALEPH detector is reported. The result for f = e, μ and τ is to be compared with the observation of 4 events by the L3 Collaboration with invariant masses, Mγγ, of the two photons near 60 GeV. From a data sample approximately twice as large taken from 1990 to 1992, 6 events are found with Mγγ distributed between 50 GeV and 72 GeV, while 4.9 events are expected from a QED calculation. There is no evidence for a mass peak; only one event (μ+ μ- γγ) at Mγγ = 59.4 +/- 0.2 GeV is compatible with the L3 observation. In addition, for Mγγ > 50 GeV, no event is found for e+e- --> qqγγ and only one event is found consistent with e+e- --> vvγγ this event has Mγγ = 58.5 +/- 1.9 GeV. High mass photon pair events have also been searched for in γγ collisions. This allows one to set an upper limit of 50 MeV for the width of an assumed resonance decaying to photon pairs.

Abstract

The time dependence of B0 d-B0 d oscillations has been observed using events with a d*, decaying into a D0π+, and a lepton in opposite hemispheres. The time dependence of the oscillations is derived from the displacement of the D0 vertex and the D*-lepton charge correlation. From a fit for the oscillation frequency the mass difference of the B0 d states is measured: Δm = [3.44+0.65 -0.70(stat.)+0.26 -0.20 (syst.)] × 10-4 eV/c2.

Abstract

Media temporalities of the elderly : evolutions in stability This article shows the context of analysis and the first results of a research on media temporalities of the elderly. Several works have finely analysed the diversity of the media practices and studied meanings of media uses. I wish to continue these analyses by insisting on the evolutionary and dynamic aspect of the practices and temporalities of users having expanded, enhanced, so called "interactive" radio and especially television programming. A priori, the elderly, upon retirement, have a "full-time free time". Their media practices seem strongly influenced by their first experiments ; the appropriation of the various peripheral accessories which gradually came with the media, to the latest digital ones, seems to reinforce their habits of watching television. Their representations and relations with times and media are very far away from the image of television like omnipresent media or "devourer of time". Rather, their media practices are to be understood like a temporality of the occupation, according to the expression of Gerard Derèze, characterized by interest and utility. A particular glance at the users who do not carry out a systematic selection of the programs, accepting the unforeseen, highlights an approach of media and time that allow "useful encounter" which I would qualify in a first stage by : "chance and encounter" and "random and the following". The few points presented here make me assume that the global relation of the autonomous elderly persons to the media can evolve when confronted to their new temporal framework and the new program offer, whereas their representations and use of the media remain quite stable.

Abstract

Rationale: Bronchial thermoplasty (BT) is a bronchoscopic procedure in which controlled thermal energy is applied to the airway wall to decrease smooth muscle.Objectives: To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of BT versus a sham procedure in subjects with severe asthma who remain symptomatic despite treatment with high-dose inhaled corticosteroids and long-acting beta(2)-agonists.Methods: A total of 288 adult subjects (Intent-to-Treat [ITT]) randomized to BT or sham control underwent three bronchoscopy procedures. Primary outcome was the difference in Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire (AQLQ) scores from baseline to average of 6, 9, and 12 months (integrated AQLQ). Adverse events and health care use were collected to assess safety. Statistical design and analysis of the primary endpoint was Bayesian. Target posterior probability of superiority (PPS) of BT over sham was 95%, except for the primary endpoint (96.4%).Measurements and Main Results: The improvement from baseline in the integrated AQLQ score was superior in the BT group compared with sham (BT, 1.35 +/- 1.10; sham, 1.16 +/- 1.23 [PPS, 96.0% ITT and 97.9% per protocol]). Seventy-nine percent of BT and 64% of sham subjects achieved changes in AQLQ of 0.5 or greater (PPS, 99.6%). Six percent more BT subjects were hospitalized in the treatment period (up to 6 wk after BT). In the posttreatment period (6-52 wk after BT), the BT group experienced fewer severe exacerbations, emergency department (ED) visits, and days missed from work/school compared with the sham group (PPS, 95.5, 99.9, and 99.3%, respectively).Conclusions: BT in subjects with severe asthma improves asthma-specific quality of life with a reduction in severe exacerbations and healthcare use in the posttreatment period. Clinical trial registered with www.clinialtrials.gov (NCT00231114). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

47. The process of identity development as the parent of a lesbian or gay male.

Author

Phillips MJ and Ancis JR

Abstract

Research has explored some aspects of parental adjustment when learning that a child is lesbian or gay, most often focusing on initial reactions. The small body of literature examining changes over time in parents' attitudes has provided clues about factors that facilitate adjustment to the news that an offspring is lesbian or gay. In this study, the grounded theory method guided development of a model of the processes that parents experience when they learn that their son or daughter is gay or lesbian. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

48. Status of the feline retina 5 years after subretinal implantation.

Abstract

Retinal prosthetics are designed to restore functional vision to patients with photoreceptor degeneration by detecting light and stimulating the retina. Since devices are surgically implanted into the eye, long-term biocompatibility and durability are critical for viable treatment of retinal disease. To extend our previous work, which demonstrated the biocompatibility of a microphotodiode array (MPA) for 10 to 27 months in the normal feline retina, we implanted normal cats with an MPA implant backed with either an iridium oxide or platinum electrode and examined retinal function and biocompatibility for 3 to 5 years. All implants functioned throughout the study period. Retinal function remained steady and normal with a less than 15 percent decrease in electroretinogram response. The retinas had normal laminar structure with no signs of inflammation or rejection in areas adjacent to or distant from the implants. Directly over the implants, a loss of photoreceptor nuclei and remodeling of inner retinal layers existed. These results indicate that the subretinal MPA device is durable and well tolerated by the retina 5 years postimplantation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
