We describe our SemEval2012 shared Task 5 system in this paper. The system includes three cascaded components: the tagging semantic role phrase, the identification of semantic role phrase, phrase and frame semantic dependency parsing. In this paper, semantic role phrase is tagged automatically based on rules, and takes Conditional Random Fields (CRFs) as the statistical identification model of ...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the anti-cancer effects of Sophorae Radix (SR) and doxorubicin (DOX) in human gastric and colorectal adenocarcinoma cells. We used the human gastric and colorectal adenocarcinoma cell lines (MKN-45 and WIDR cells, respectively). We examined cell death by using the MTT(3-[4, 5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2, 5- diphenyltetrazolium bromide) assay and the casp...

Advanced glycation end products (AGE) -modified proteins behave as active ligands for several receptors belonging to the scavenger receptor family. Scavenger receptor class B type I (SR-BI) was identified as the first high density lipoprotein (HDL) receptor that mediates selective uptake of HDL-cholesteryl esters (HDL-CE). This study investigated whether AGE proteins serve as ligands for SR-BI ...

The effects of the synthetic cannabinoid WIN 55,212-2 on heat-evoked firing of spinal wide dynamic range (WDR) neurons were examined in a rodent model of neuropathic pain. Fifty-eight WDR neurons (1 cell/animal) were recorded from the ipsilateral spinal dorsal horns of rats with chronic constriction injury (CCI) and sham-operated controls. Relative to sham-operated controls, neurons recorded in...

Myocardial contractility depends on Ca2+ release from and uptake into the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR). The Ca2+ gradient between the SR matrix and the cytosol (SR Ca2+ gradient) is maintained by the SR Ca2+-ATPase using the free energy available from hydrolysis of ATP. The activity of the SR Ca2+-ATPase is not only dependent on the energy state of the cell but is also kinetically regulated by S...

a male patient in his 20s presented at our clinic with pain caused by bone metastases of the primitive neuroectodermal tumor, and sr-89 was administrated to palliate the pain. after receiving the injection, the patient complained of a slight burning pain at the catheterized area. slight reddening and small circular swelling (diameter, 0.5 cm) were observed at the catheterized area. sr-89 extrav...
