    Description: To use lymphocytes as surrogate cells to investigate their in vitro sensitivities to ultraviolet (UV) treatment in different cancers and precancerous states by comparison with lymphocytes from healthy control individuals was the main aim of this research. UV light induces precise cellular and genomic mutations. In this study, the effect of ultraviolet A (UVA) (320–400 nm) was used as a generic mutagen to evaluate in vitro different sensitivities from lymphocytes of patients with suspected melanoma (SM), malignant melanoma (MM), polyposis coli (PC) and colorectal cancer (CRC). DNA damage was evaluated by two different methods: the micronucleus (MN) assay and the Comet assay. The baseline frequency of MNs was significantly increased in lymphocytes from all patients (SM, MM, PC and CRC) when compared to healthy individuals. After UV irradiation, MN frequencies were significantly increased in lymphocytes of all groups, both patients and healthy individuals. However, the MN frequency in all patient groups was significantly higher than in the healthy individual group. Similar results for the induction of genomic DNA damage were obtained for the Comet assay. Also for the Comet assay, UVA-induced DNA damage for all four patient groups was significantly increased when compared to healthy individuals (SM, MM, PC and CRC groups: P 〈 0.001). Conclusively, peripheral lymphocytes from patients with cancers MM and CRC or precancerous states SM and PC are more sensitive to a generic mutagen such as UVA than lymphocytes from healthy individuals. This feature may be used as an essential biomarker to screen and diagnose precancerous states and cancers in early stages.

    Description: The first recurrent translocation event in prostate cancer has been recently described; it results in the translocation of an ETS (E26 transformation specific) transcription factor (ERG or ETV1) to the TMPRSS2 promoter region, which contains androgen responsive elements. The TMPRSS2:ERG genetic rearrangement has been reported to occur in approximately 40% of primary prostate tumours (ETV1 genetic rearrangements occur at a much lower frequency), and it results in the aberrant androgen-regulated expression of ERG. Tomlins et al. concluded that ETS genetic rearrangements are sufficient to initiate prostate neoplasia. However, here we show that ETS genetic rearrangements may in fact represent progression events rather than initiation events in prostate tumorigenesis. To this end, we demonstrate that the prostate-specific overexpression of ERG does not initiate prostate tumorigenesis.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2967456/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2967456/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Carver, Brett S -- Tran, Jennifer -- Chen, Zhenbang -- Carracedo-Perez, Arkaitz -- Alimonti, Andrea -- Nardella, Caterina -- Gopalan, Anuradha -- Scardino, Peter T -- Cordon-Cardo, Carlos -- Gerald, William -- Pandolfi, Pier Paolo -- P50 CA092629/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- P50 CA092629-10/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01 CA082328/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01 CA082328-12/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01 MD004038/MD/NIMHD NIH HHS/ -- U01 CA084292/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- U01 CA084292-10/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- England -- Nature. 2009 Feb 12;457(7231):E1; discussion E2-3. doi: 10.1038/nature07738.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Cancer Biology and Genetics Program, Sloan-Kettering Institute, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, New York, New York 10021, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19212347" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Notes: A Campargue-type source of an intense, triply differentially pumped supersonic beam of atoms (He, Ne, Ar) and molecules (N2) for use in high-resolution collision experiments is described. Using stagnation pressures of (1–10) bar, nozzle diameters of (0.05–0.25) mm, and skimmer diameters of (0.5–1.0) mm, the center-line intensity and collimated target density are quantitatively characterized by electron impact ionization in conjunction with total ion collection. Optimum densities in a target plane, located about 160 mm from the nozzle, range from 1012 cm−3 (N2) to 8×1012 cm−3 (He) at background densities which are about 1% of the beam densities. The results are compared with values calculated for ideal supersonic expansions. © 2000 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The results of experimental and theoretical studies, aiming at a quantitative characterization of photoion-induced energy broadening effects in a laser photoelectron source, are reported. The electron source is based on two-step cw laser photoionization of potassium atoms in a collimated beam. In the experimental studies, the attachment spectra for the formation of (N2O)9O− cluster ions through a narrow vibrational Feshbach resonance (full width at half maximum 2.3 meV) were measured as a function of the photocurrent. The theoretical studies involved Monte Carlo simulations of the broadening effects and were based on potential distributions caused by realistic spatial distributions of the photoions. Using the corresponding electric field distribution, trajectories were calculated for a representative ensemble of electrons, and effective electron energy distributions were obtained from averages over the electron trajectories in the volume relevant for electron attachment. Furthermore, the effects of additional weak electric fields, applied along the atomic beam direction, have been simulated. For our geometry (ionization volume about 2 mm3) the effective space charge related energy width is found to be about 16 μeV/pA. © 2001 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Abstract Chemical grafting of aniline (ANI) onto wool fibre was carried out in aqueous acidic medium by using peroxosalts such as peroxodisulphate (PDS) and peroxomonosulphate (PMS) as an initiator for various [Monomer], [Initiator] and (fibre weight). It was observed that both Rh and Rg increased with increase in the concentration of each component. The chemical grafting was confirmed using FTIR spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry (CV) and conductivity measurements.

    Notes: Polymerization of acrylamide (M) in the presence of ultrasound and peroxomonosulfate (PMS) was carried out for the first time for various concentration ranges of monomer and initiator and various temperatures at a constant frequency of 1 Mhz. The rate of polymerization Rp was found to increase with increase in the concentration of monomer and initiator and found to depend on [M] and [PMS]1/2. The rate of disappearance of initiator (-d[PMS]/dt) was also followed simultaneously under the experimental conditions and found to increase linearly with increase in [PMS]. A probable reaction mechanism was proposed on the basis of the observed results, and the individual rate constant were evaluated. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The kinetics of aqueous polymerization of the symmetrical nonconjugated divinyl monomer N,N′-methylenebis(acrylamide) (MBA), was studied at 35°C and at constant ionic strength under nitrogen atmosphere involving potassium peroxydiphosphate (PDP) as oxidant with three different activators thiolactic acid (TLA), thiomalic acid (TMA), and thioglycollic acid (TGA). The rate of polymerization, RP, and rate of disappearance of peroxydiphosphate, -RPDP have been followed while polymerization was initiated separately by the PDP-TLA/PDP-TMA/PDP-TGA redox systems. RP for the above three systems showed first-order dependences on both [monomer] and [activator] and zero-order dependence on [PDP]. First-order dependence on [PDP] and zero-order dependences on [monomer] and [activators] were observed with respect to -RPDP in the above three systems. A reaction mechanism which involves complex formation between PDP and thiocarboxylic acid, propagation through intramolecular-intermolecular reactions, degradative chain transfer reaction of the growing radical with PDP, and linear termination by the interaction of the chain radical with primary radical was proposed. The kinetic parameters for the three polymerization systems were calculated and compared. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Sci A: Polym Chem 36: 11-20, 1998

    Notes: The kinetics of graft copolymerization of polyacrylonitrile (PAN) onto polyester (PET) and the simultaneous homopolymerization initiated by the potassium penoxomonosulfate (PMS)-ascorbic acid (H2A) redox system were studied separately. Results on the graft copolymerization was adequately explained by a mechanism which also accounts for the reason for simultaneous homopolymerization. The observed homopolymerization results agreed with the proposal. Kinetic chain-length measurements on the graft copolymer and homopolymerization were used to evaluate the kinetic parameters. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
