Optimal implementation of morphological operations on neighborhood-connected parallel computers

To efficiently perform morphological operations on neighborhood-processing-based parallel image computers, we need to decompose structuring elements larger than the neighborhood that can be directly handled into neighborhood subsets. In the special case that the structuring element is a convex polygon, there are known decomposition algorithms in the literature. In this paper, we give an algorithm for the optimal decomposition of arbitrarily shaped structuring elements, enabling an optimal implementation of morphological operations on neighborhood-connected parallel computers in the general case.     

CTLA4 mediates antigen-specific apoptosis of human T cells

The regulation of T cell-mediated immune responses requires a balance between amplification and generation of effector function and subsequent selective termination by clonal deletion. Although apoptosis of previously activated T cells can be induced by signaling of the tumor necrosis factor receptor family, these molecules do not appear to regulate T-cell clonal deletion in an antigen-specific fashion. We demonstrate that cross-linking of the inducible T-cell surface molecule CTLA4 can mediate apoptosis of previously activated human T lymphocytes. This function appears to be antigen-restricted, since a concomitant signal T-cell receptor signal is required. Regulation of this pathway may provide a novel therapeutic strategy to delete antigen-specific activated T cells.

Abdominal wall prostheses. Biomechanic and histological study

The best prosthetic material is one which provides the best mechanical resistance with the best biological tolerance. In order to assess the mechanical and histological properties of abdominal wall prostheses, we performed experimental tests in animal models comparing four materials: polypropylene, dacron, polyglactine 910 and a dacron-polyglactine 910 composite. One hundred thirty rabbits were used including 10 controls and 120 test animals. A medial laparotomy was closed with an antemuscular aponevrotic prosthesis in the test animals. Animals were sacrificed at one, two and three months after the operation. Abdominal wall and prosthesis samples were tested to determine resistance to pressure and extension, deformability and elasticity. Histology tests were also done to determine resistance quality and biological tolerance. Dacron was tolerated best and was less resistant than polypropylene, though resistance was satisfactory. There was no advantage with polyglactine compared with non-resorbable prostheses; its only indication would be a septic site. The composite material tested had a resistance comparable with that of dacron but was less well tolerated.     

Binding characteristics of novel nonsteroidal antiestrogens to the rat uterine estrogen receptors

Tamoxifen (TAM), the only antiestrogen currently available for the endocrine therapy of breast cancer behaves as a mixed agonist/antagonist of estrogen action, thus limiting its therapeutic potential. We report the binding characteristics of a novel series of nonsteroidal antiestrogens to the rat uterine estrogen receptor. As measured by competition studies, the affinity of EM-652, the active metabolite of the prodrug EM-800, for the estrogen receptor is 7-11 times higher than that of 17beta-estradiol (E2), ICI 182780, and hydroxy-tamoxifen (OH-TAM), the active metabolite of Tamoxifen. EM-652 is 20x more potent than ICI 164384 and Droloxifene while it is 400 times more potent than Toremifene in displacing [3H]E2 from the rat uterine estrogen receptor. On the other hand, the prodrug EM-800 and Tamoxifen have respectively 150-fold and 410-fold less affinity for the estrogen receptor than the pure antiestrogen EM-652. No significant binding of EM-652, EM-800, TAM or OH-TAM was observed to the rat uterine progesterone receptor at concentrations up to 10,000 nM except for TAM that caused a 50% displacement of labeled R5020 at 4000 nM. No significant binding of EM-652 or EM-800 was observed on the rat ventral prostate androgen receptor or the rat uterine progesterone receptor. The present data demonstrate the high affinity and specificity of the new antiestrogen, EM-652, for the rat uterine estrogen receptor. The antiestrogen EM-652 thus becomes the compound having the highest known affinity for the estrogen receptor. Due to its unique potency and its pure antiestrogenic activity already demonstrated in many systems, this antiestrogen could well offer an important advance for the endocrine therapy of breast cancer, uterine cancer, and other estrogen-sensitive diseases in women.     

Regulation of an Escherichia coli/mammalian chimeric carbamoyl-phosphate synthetase

Carbamoyl-phosphate synthetase (CPSase) consists of a 120-kDa synthetase domain (CPS) that makes carbamoyl phosphate from ATP, bicarbonate, and ammonia usually produced by a separate glutaminase domain. CPS is composed of two subdomains, CPS.A and CPS.B. Although CPS.A and CPS.B have specialized functions in intact CPSase, the separately cloned subdomains can catalyze carbamoyl phosphate synthesis. This report describes the construction of a 58-kDa chimeric CPSase composed of Escherichia coli CPS.A catalytic subdomains and the mammalian regulatory subdomain. The catalytic parameters are similar to those of the E. coli enzyme, but the activity is regulated by the mammalian effectors and protein kinase A phosphorylation. The chimera has a single site that binds phosphoribosyl 5'-pyrophosphate (PRPP) with a dissociation constant of 25 microM. The dissociation constant for UTP of 0.23 mM was inferred from its effect on PRPP binding. Thus, the regulatory subdomain is an exchangeable ligand binding module that can control both CPS.A and CPS.B domains, and the pathway for allosteric signal transmission is identical in E. coli and mammalian CPSase. A deletion mutant that truncates the polypeptide within a postulated regulatory sequence is as active as the parent chimera but is insensitive to effectors. PRPP and UTP bind to the mutant, suggesting that the carboxyl half of the subdomain is essential for transmitting the allosteric signal but not for ligand binding.
