Abstract Background and Aims Rhabdomyolysis is a pathological syndrome associated with massive severe skeletal muscle injury. A common complication of rhabdomyolysis acute kidney injury (AKI), process that increases mortality these patients. In rhabdomyolysis, myoglobin (Mb) released from cells subsequently absorbed by the renal tubular epithelium causing series deleterious effects. TWEAK/Fn14 ...

A concept of expressive equivalence for planning formalisms based on polynomial transformations is de ned. It is argued that this de nition is reasonable and useful both from a theoretical and from a practical perspective; if two languages are equivalent, then theoretical results carry over and, more practically, we can model an application problem in one language and then easily use a planner ...

This paper presents an analysis of partial-order and causal-links planning based on Sandewall’s systematic approach to reasoning about action and change. The partial-order planners TWEAK and SNLP are analysed and reconstructed. A temporal logic, called the fluent logic, is used for representing plans, and the strong connection between causal links and elements of the fluent logic are pointed out.

Doxorubicin is an important component of combination therapy for muscle-invasive urinary bladder cancer. Treatment with this topoisomerase II poison is able to interfere with cell cycle progression and lead to cancer cell death. Using FACS analysis, Western immunoblotting and semi-quantitative RT-PCR, we studied the effects of doxorubicin on cell cycle progression and apoptosis, and also explor...

Split&Tweak subdivisions iteratively refine a polygon by inserting a vertex in the middle of each edge (Split) and then moving each vertex to an affine combination of five consecutive vertices (Tweak). Special cases include Dyn, Gregory, and Levin’s fourpoint subdivision, Lane and Riesenfeld’s cubic and quintic B-spline subdivision, Rossignac’s subdivision which produces C curves, and Maillot a...

Atherosclerosis is a very complex pathology. Over the past two decades we have come to appreciate that a major component of this pathological process is chronic inflammation. This inflammatory state is not only characterized by infiltration of lipid laden macrophages, the hallmark cell of this disease, into the vascular wall, but also is characterized by the infiltration of a host of other infl...

The human marrow produces approximately 1010 monocytes daily, and this production must be balanced by a similar rate of destruction. Monocytes/macrophages can undergo apoptosis after activating CD4+ T cells, suggesting one mechanism that may contribute to macrophage homeostasis. Previous reports indicate that Fas-Fas ligand interactions are the principle molecules mediating this response. Howev...
