Sociodemographic factors of Pap smear screening in Taiwan

We report the differences between using either EDTA plasma or serum in a turbidimetric assay for quantitation of C-reactive protein (CRP). A systematic discrepancy was found for these two sample materials. This was most pronounced in the low concentration range (below 20 mg1(-1)) at which lower values were found in serum than in EDTA plasma. Conversely, in the high concentration range, serum showed slightly higher values. Addition of K3-EDTA to the reaction buffer improved the kinetics for sera with low concentrations of CRP, thus increasing the sensitivity of the assay. We found an overall constant discrepancy of approximately 8% lower values in plasma than in serum (equally for low and high levels of CRP) after the addition of K3-EDTA. The most probable explanation for this effect seems to be the differing water content of serum and EDTA plasma. We discuss the role and function of EDTA in the CRP assay and suggest some hypothetical mechanisms.

The decision-making properties of discrete multiple exponentialbidirectional associative memories

A method for modeling the learning of belief combination in evidential reasoning using a neural network is presented. A centralized network composed of multiple exponential bidirectional associative memories (eBAM's) sharing a single output array of neurons is proposed to process the uncertainty management of many pieces of evidence simultaneously. The stability of the proposed multiple eBAM network is proved. The sufficient condition to recall a stored pattern pair is discussed. Most important of all, a majority rule of decision making in presentation of multiple evidence is also found by the study of signal-noise-ratio of multiple eBAM network. A guaranteed stable state condition, i.e., the condition for the fastest recall of a pattern pair, is also studied. The result is coherent with the intuition of reasoning.

BID: a novel BH3 domain-only death agonist

The BCL-2 family of proteins consists of both antagonists (e.g., BCL-2) and agonists (e.g., BAX) that regulate apoptosis and compete through dimerization. The BH1 and BH2 domains of BCL-2 are required to heterodimerize with BAX and to repress cell death; conversely, the BH3 domain of BAX is required to heterodimerize with BCL-2 and to promote cell death. To extend this pathway, we used interactive cloning to identify Bid, which encodes a novel death agonist that heterodimerizes with either agonists (BAX) or antagonists (BCL-2). BID possesses only the BH3 domain, lacks a carboxy-terminal signal-anchor segment, and is found in both cytosolic and membrane locations. BID counters the protective effect of BCL-2. Moreover, expression of BID, without another death stimulus, induces ICE-like proteases and apoptosis. Mutagenesis revealed that an intact BH3 domain of BID was required to bind the BH1 domain of either BCL-2 or BAX. A BH3 mutant of BID that still heterodimerized with BCL-2 failed to promote apoptosis, dissociating these activities. In contrast, the only BID BH3 mutant that retained death promoting activity interacted with BAX, but not BCL-2. This BH3-only molecule supports BH3 as a death domain and favors a model in which BID represents a death ligand for the membrane-bound receptor BAX.
