We studied T-bet expression in 91 cases of peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) by immunostaining and found expression in 42 cases (46%), including all 5 lymphoepithelioid lymphoma cases and 12 (86%) of 14 angioimmunoblastic lymphoma cases, but only 9 (25%) of 36 anaplastic large cell lymphoma cases. Expression of T-bet in PTCL correlates with expression of other markers of Th1 T-cell differentiat...

BACKGROUND Chondrosarcoma, the second most frequent primary malignant bone tumor, is classified into 3 grades according to histologic criteria of malignancy. However, a low-grade lesion can be difficult to distinguish from a benign enchondroma, whereas some histologically low-grade lesions may carry a poor prognosis. The receptor for advanced glycation endproducts (RAGE) and its ligand, high-mo...

Background: The prevalence of morbid obesity and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is on the rise in association with a Western lifestyle. Both conditions are characterized by chronic inflammation. Bariatric surgery (BS) is a recommended and widely used approach to address severe obesity and its related comorbidities. Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGBP) and sleeve gastrectomy (SG) are the most freq...

We introduce the net.datastructures package, written entirely in Java. The net.datastructures package includes implementations of a variety of simple and complex data structures, such as lists, dictionaries, maps, trees, graphs, and priority queues, with powerful and flexible access to the elements stored, both by means of traditional iterators and by means of relavitvely new types of accessors...

We have used the SAURON panoramic integral field spectrograph to study the structure of the Ly-α emission-line halo, LAB1, surrounding the sub-millimeter galaxy SMM J221726+0013. This emission-line halo was discovered during a narrow-band imaging survey of the z = 3.1 large-scale structure in the SSA22 region. Our observations trace the emission halo out to almost 100 kpc from the sub-millimete...

BACKGROUND Borderline personality disorder (BPD) and substance use disorders frequently co-occur; their dual presence predicts poor prognosis. The genetic underpinnings of BPD have not been well-characterized and could offer insight into comorbidity. The current report focuses on the association of neurexin 3 (NRXN3) single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with BPD symptoms in heroin dependent c...

The paper gives insight into the revaluation of popular Gothic aesthetics in Jim Jarmusch’s 2014 production Only Lovers Left Alive. Drawing on critical theory and the postmodern theoretical framework, the article suggests that the film transgresses contemporary culture immersed in a “culture of death” that has produced a vast amount of cultural texts under the rubric of “Gothicism.” By consider...

The problem of characterizing the structure of an object buried in an inhomogeneous halfspace of unknown composition is considered. We develop a non-linear inverse scattering algorithm based on a low dimensional parameterization of the unknown object and the background. In particular, we use low order polynomials to represent the contrast in the real and imaginary parts of the object and backgr...
