Thyrotropin-receptor-mediated diseases: a paradigm for receptor autoimmunity

Autoantibodies to the thyrotropin receptor (TSHR) can act as thyrotropin agonists or antagonists, or can cause thyroid hypertrophy. Neither the autoantibody-binding sites on the TSHR nor the intracellular mechanisms by which the autoantibodies mediate their diverse functional effects are completely understood. This article reviews how cloning of the TSHR has contributed to our understanding of its structure and function, and has allowed induction of experimental autoimmunity to the TSHR.     

Novel polymeric aromatic lithium sulfonylimides as salts for polymer electrolytes

Three new polymeric aromatic lithium sulfonylimides were used as salts in high molecular weight poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) electrolytes. Their conductivity and electrochemical stability behaviors were investigated. The electrolytes with lithium poly[4,4′‐(hexafluoroisopropylidene)diphenoxy]sulfonylimide (LiPHFIPSI) showed a better conductive performance compared with the other two lithium salts. The best conductivity was obtained for PEO/LiPHFIPSI EO/Li = 16 (1.90 × 10^?4 S/cm at 60°C). Thermal analysis indicated that the salts effectively decreased the crystallinity of PEO. Moreover, the electrolytes also had good electrochemical stability and their oxidative potential was to 5.5 V versus Li/Li⁺. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 85: 1802–1805, 2002     

Growth of Helicobacter pylori in candle jars

OBJECTIVES: To examine stability of -glutamyltransferase (GGT) activity in stored serum from neonatal calves. ANIMALS: 10 commercial beef calves between 36 and 60 hours old. PROCEDURE: Serum samples were obtained from the calves, and each sample was divided into 8 aliquots. Serum GGT activity was measured on day 0 (fresh) and days 1, 2, 3, and 4 of refrigerated storage (4 C) and weeks 1, 2, and 3 of frozen storage (-20 C). RESULTS: Serum GGT activities for each of the refrigerated aliquots did not significantly differ from day zero, with serum GGT activity (expressed as a percentage of initial activity) > 99% on all 4 days. Serum GGT activity in frozen aliquots decreased significantly after 1 and 2 weeks of frozen storage, 97 and 98%, respectively; however, this decrease in GGT activity was not biologically significant. The observed GGT activity did not decrease significantly in the samples stored frozen for 3 weeks; these samples retained 99% of initial activity. CONCLUSION: The observed stability of serum GGT activity indicates that serum may be obtained, stored, and batch processed at a later time. This stability during storage is important to the success of a bovine passive transfer monitoring program based on GGT activity.

Rapid synthesis of La0.7Sr0.3MnO3+λ catalysts by microwave irradiation process

Microwave irradiation processing (MIP) was considered as a potential method to synthesize perovskite-type oxides rapidly, cleanly and energy-efficiently. In this paper, La_0.7Sr_0.3MnO_3+λ, a kind of promising catalyst for automobile exhaust purification, was successfully prepared by MIP in not more than 5 min. The sol–gel method was also used for comparison. All the samples were evaluated by catalytic activity tests in the simulated exhaust and characterized by XRD, BET, TEM and XRF analyses. The results showed that the integrated perovskite-type phase and uniform particle size were obtained in the microwave-treated samples. And those ones exhibited a better oxidation activity under slightly oxygen-rich condition than that by sol–gel method, which may be related to more A-site cation vacancies and larger bulk oxygen content generated in MIP. Possible formation mechanism of perovskites in MIP was also discussed.

Extrapolated galerkin time finite elements

A new time finite-element method based on the extrapolation technique and the Galerkin time finite-element method is presented. In this method, the second-order governing differential equations of motion for dynamic problems are rewritten as a set of first order differential equations in state space. The standard Galerkin method is then employed for the temporal discretization. The algorithm is first-order accurate only. Based on the first-order Galerkin time finite-element formulation, the extrapolation technique is introduced to improve the order of accuracy. It is achieved by expressing the numerical amplification matrix of higher-order algorithm as a linear combination of the basic amplification matrices evaluated at selected instances of time. The matrices are combined with different weighting factors. The pairs of the selected instance of time and the corresponding weighting factors are free parameters. Unconditionally stable higher-order accurate formulations can be derived by properly choosing the free parameters. Algorithms up to fourth-order accurate are presented in this paper. Detailed analyses on stability, numerical dissipation and numerical dispersion are also given. Comparisons of the present algorithms with some well-known time-integration methods are presented to demonstrate the versatility of the present method, in particular its accuracy in the higher-order formulations.
