Mutation analysis of the MEN1 gene in multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1, familial acromegaly and familial isolated hyperparathyroidism

Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN 1) is an autosomal dominant disease characterized by neoplasia of the parathyroid glands, the endocrine pancreas, and the anterior pituitary gland. In addition, families with isolated endocrine neoplasia, notably familial isolated hyperparathyroidism (FIHP) and familial acromegaly, have also been reported. However, whether these families constitute MEN 1 variants or separate entities remains speculative as the genetic bases for these diseases are unclear. The gene for MEN 1 has recently been cloned and characterized. Using single strand conformation analysis (SSCA) and sequencing, we performed mutation analysis in: a) a total of 55 MEN 1 families from 7 countries, b) 13 isolated MEN 1 cases without family history of the disease, c) 8 acromegaly families, and d) 4 FIHP families. Mutations were identified in 27 MEN 1 families and 9 isolated cases. The 22 different mutations spread across most of the 9 translated exons and included frameshift (11), nonsense (6), splice (2), missense mutations (2), and in-frame deletions (1). Among the 19 Finnish MEN 1 probands, a 1466del12 mutation was identified in 6 families with identical 11q13 haplotypes and in 2 isolated cases indicating a common founder. One frameshift mutation caused by 359del4 (GTCT) was found in 1 isolated case and 4 kindreds of different origin and haplotypes; this mutation therefore represents a common "warm" spot in the MEN1 gene. By analyzing the DNA of the parents of an isolated case one mutation was confirmed to be de novo. No mutation was found in any of the acromegaly and small FIHP families, suggesting that genetic defects other than the MEN1 gene might be involved and that additional such families need to be analyzed.     

Prenatal androgens and gender-typed behavior: A study of girls with mild and severe forms of congenital adrenal hyperplasia.

Gender-typed behaviors and interests were investigated in 26 girls, aged 2-10 years, affected with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) and in 26 unaffected girls matched for age. Girls with CAH were more interested in masculine toys and less interested in feminine toys and were more likely to report having male playmates and to wish for masculine careers. Parents of girls with CAH rated their daughters' behaviors as more boylike than did parents of unaffected girls. A relation was found between disease severity and behavior indicating that more severely affected CAH girls were more interested in masculine toys and careers. No parental influence could be demonstrated on play behavior, nor did the comparison of parents' ratings of wished for behavior versus perceived behavior in their daughters indicate an effect of parental expectations. The results are interpreted as supporting a biological contribution to differences in play behavior between girls with and without CAH.

Two‐scale finite element modelling of reinforced concrete structures: Effective response and subscale fracture development

A two‐scale model is derived from a fully resolved model where the response of concrete, steel reinforcement, and bond between them are considered. The pertinent “effective” large‐scale problem is derived from selective homogenisation in terms of the equilibrium of reinforced concrete considered as a single‐phase solid. Variational formulations of the representative volume element problem are established in terms of the subscale displacement fields for the plain concrete continuum and the reinforcement bars. Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions (BCs) are imposed on the concrete (pertaining to uniform boundary displacement and constant boundary traction, respectively) and on the reinforcement bars (pertaining to prescribed boundary displacement and vanishing sectional forces, respectively). Different representative volume element sizes and combinations of BCs were used in FE² analyses of a deep beam subjected to four‐point bending. Results were compared with those of full resolution (single‐scale). The most reliable response was obtained for the case of Dirichlet‐Dirichlet BCs, with a good match between the models in terms of the deformed shape, force‐deflection relation, and average strain. Even though the maximum crack widths were underestimated, the Dirichlet‐Dirichlet combination provided an approximate upper bound on the structural stiffness.     

Synthesis of branched 'nanotrees' by controlled seeding of multiple branching events

The formation of nanostructures with controlled size and morphology has been the focus of intensive research in recent years. Such nanostructures are important in the development of nanoscale devices and in the exploitation of the properties of nanomaterials. Here we show how tree-like nanostructures ('nanotrees') can be formed in a highly controlled way. The process involves the self-assembled growth of semiconductor nanowires via the vapour-liquid-solid growth mode. This bottom-up method uses initial seeding by catalytic nanoparticles to form the trunk, followed by the sequential seeding of branching structures. Each level of branching is controlled in terms of branch length, diameter and number, as well as chemical composition. We show, by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, that the branching mechanism gives continuous crystalline (monolithic) structures throughout the extended and complex tree-like structures. The controlled seeding method that we report here has potential as a generic means of forming complex branching structures, and may also offer opportunities for applications, such as the mimicking of photosynthesis in nanotrees.     

Mass flow limitations in reactive sputtering

Reactive sputtering may be accomplished by mixing the inert gas argon with some reactive gas during sputtering. To form ZrN, sputtered zirconium atoms must react with nitrogen. At a specific deposition rate, a certain number F_N0 of nitrogen atoms must arrive at the substrate. This requirement is fulfilled at the partial pressure P_N = P_N0. The minimum partial pressure P_N0 to obtain a nitride is often detected by a sharp decrease in sputtering rate at a specific N₂ partial pressure. However, during reactive sputtering of for example ZrN we found that the value of P_N0 was strongly dependent on the total gas throughout in the vacuum system. An increase in total gas throughput causes a decrease in the value of P_N0.

The decrease in sputtering rate has indirectly been measured by optical emission spectroscopy from the sputtering plasma.     

Space-time finite elements for a simplified thermo-metallurgical problem relevant to casting

The non-linear thermo-metallurgical problem, relevant for the cooling of a molten metal including the macro-segregation that occurs during the cooling process, is studied here. Due to the strong non-linearities involved in phase transformations, it is necessary to use a fine resolution in space-time in a finite element approximation in order to meet accuracy requirements. We derive space-time FE-methods based on the discontinuous and continuous Galerkin method in time for the energy equation. This formulation integrates the stored energy exactly for a given heat flux. When macro-segregation is incorporated into the model, the problem can be formulated in such a way that the phase-transition drives a flow of species. In addition, diffusion is possible throughout the domain. The model can be further rewritten using a potential approach. By this approach for modelling macro-segregation, we are able to obtain discretizations that guarantee that the balance equations are satisfied, and it is possible to solve the phase-transition problem either as a field problem or as a local problem (defined by a local evolution rule).

Acetylation of solid wood using microwave heating Part 1: Studies of dielectric properties

ɛ ′) and relative loss factor (ɛ′′) give information on how the microwaves can penetrate into the wood object and of possible thermal gradient effects on the wood during modification. This investigation shows that microwave energy effectively heats the acetic anhydride used for modification by acetylation and that the power penetration depth (d _p) of the microwaves is about 10 cm in acetic anhydride impregnated wood. The relative permittivity and the relative loss factor were found to decrease with increasing temperature, which indicates that the energy absorption will preferably be directed to less heated parts of the wood object. This will promote a more uniform heat distribution, and, accordingly, a more uniform acetylation of the wood.
