Selective neurodegeneration induced in rotation-mediated aggregate cell cultures by a transient switch to stationary culture conditions: a potential model to study ischemia-related pathogenic mechanisms.

Aggregating brain cell cultures at an advanced maturational stage (20-21 days in vitro) were subjected for 1-3 h to anaerobic (hypoxic) and/or stationary (ischemic) conditions. After restoration of the normal culture conditions, cell loss was estimated by measuring the release of lactate dehydrogenase as well as the irreversible decrease of cell type-specific enzyme activities, total protein and DNA content. Ischemia for 2 h induced significant neuronal cell death. Hypoxia combined with ischemia affected both neuronal and glial cells to different degrees (GABAergic neurons>cholinergic neurons>astrocytes). Hypoxic and ischemic conditions greatly stimulated the uptake of 2-deoxy-D-glucose, indicating increased glucose consumption. Furthermore, glucose restriction (5.5 mM instead of 25 mM) dramatically increased the susceptibility of neuronal and glial cells to hypoxic and ischemic conditions. Glucose media concentrations below 2 mM caused selective neuronal cell death in otherwise normal culture conditions. GABAergic neurons showed a particularly high sensitivity to glucose restriction, hypoxia, and ischemia. The pattern of ischemia-induced changes in vitro showed many similarities to in vivo findings, suggesting that aggregating brain cell cultures provide a useful in vitro model to study pathogenic mechanisms related to brain ischemia.

Outcomes of patients on dual-boosted PI regimens: experience of the Swiss HIV cohort study.

Dual-boosted protease inhibitors (DBPI) are an option for salvage therapy for HIV-1 resistant patients. Patients receiving a DBPI in the Swiss HIV Cohort Study between January1996 and March 2007 were studied. Outcomes of interest were viral suppression at 24 weeks. 295 patients (72.5%) were on DBPI for over 6 months. The median duration was 2.2 years. Of 287 patients who had HIV-RNA >400 copies/ml at the start of the regimen, 184 (64.1%) were ever suppressed while on DBPI and 156 (54.4%) were suppressed within 24 weeks. The median time to suppression was 101 days (95% confidence interval 90-125 days). The median number of past regimens was 6 (IQR, 3-8). The main reasons for discontinuing the regimen were patient's wish (48.3%), treatment failure (22.5%), and toxicity (15.8%). Acquisition of HIV through intravenous drug use and the use of lopinavir in combination with saquinavir or atazanavir were associated with an increased likelihood of suppression within 6 months. Patients on DBPI are heavily treatment experienced. Viral suppression within 6 months was achieved in more than half of the patients. There may be a place for DBPI regimens in settings where more expensive alternates are not available.

The HP-filter in cross-country comparisons

Many empirical studies of business cycles have followed the practise ofapplying the Hodrick-Prescott filter for cross-country comparisons. Thestandard procedure is to set the weight \lambda, which determines the'smoothness' of the trend equal to 1600. We show that if this value isused for against common wisdom about business cycles. As an example, weshow that the long recession occurred inSpain between 1975 and 1985 goesunnotoced by the HP filter. We propose a method for adjusting \lambda byreinterpreting the HP-filter as the solution to a constrained minimizationproblem. We argue that the common practice of fixing \lambda across countriesamounts to chankging the constraints on trend variability across countries.Our proposed method is easy to apply, retains all the virtues of thestandard HP-filter and when applied to Spanish data the results are inthe line with economic historian's view. Applying the method to a numberof OECD countries we find that, with the exception of Spain, Italy andJapan, the standard choice of \lambda=1600 is sensible.

Pi*-pi* bonding interactions generated by halogen oxidation of zirconium(IV) redox-active ligand complexes.

The new complex, [Zr(pda)2]n (1, pda2- = N,N'-bis(neo-pentyl)-ortho-phenylenediamide, n = 1 or 2), prepared by the reaction of 2 equiv of pdaLi2 with ZrCl4, reacts rapidly with halogen oxidants to afford the new product ZrX2(disq)2 (3, X = Cl, Br, I; disq- = N,N'-bis(neo-pentyl)-ortho-diiminosemiquinonate) in which each redox-active ligand has been oxidized by one electron. The oxidation products 3a-c have been structurally characterized and display an unusual parallel stacked arrangement of the disq- ligands in the solid state, with a separation of approximately 3 A. Density functional calculations show a bonding-type interaction between the SOMOs of the disq- ligands to form a unique HOMO while the antibonding linear combination forms a unique LUMO. This orbital configuration leads to a closed-shell-singlet ground-state electron configuration (S = 0). Temperature-dependent magnetism measurements indicate a low-lying triplet excited state at approximately 750 cm-1. In solution, 3a-c show strong disq--based absorption bands that are invariant across the halide series. Taken together these spectroscopic measurements provide experimental values for the one- and two-electron energies that characterize the pi-stacked bonding interaction between the two disq- ligands.

Características estruturais de ácidos húmicos isolados de solos com adição de resíduos orgânicos de origem urbana: composição elementar, análise de RMN 13C e Pi-CG/EM

Foram avaliadas as alterações nas características estruturais de ácidos húmicos (AH) decorrentes da adição de matéria orgânica de resíduos urbanos. Os AH foram extraídos da camada superficial (0-20 cm) de um Argissolo Vermelho-Amarelo (Seropédica, RJ) e de um Latossolo Vermelho Amarelo (Piraí, RJ), ambos tratados com o equivalente a 80 t ha-1 (em base seca) de composto de lixo urbano e lodo de estação de tratamento de esgotos. O tempo de incubação em laboratório foi de 24 semanas à temperatura ambiente e umidade mantida na capacidade de campo. Para caracterizar os AH, foram utilizadas a análise elementar, a ressonância magnética nuclear (RMN) de 13C e Pirólise acoplada à cromatografia gasosa e a espectrometria de massas (Pi-CG/EM). A análise de RMN 13C permitiu observar alterações na composição molecular dos AH de forma clara, principalmente, pelo aumento do teor de C mono e di oxigenados (δC 50-110) e pela diminuição dos teores de grupos CH2 e CH3 (δC 50-110). O aumento no teor de carboidratos evidencia a presença de estruturas mais lábeis nos AH com adição dos resíduos. Em adição, a técnica de Pi-CG/EM permitiu verificar diferenças qualitativas significativas nos compostos orgânicos, provenientes da fragmentação térmica dos AH com incorporação de novas estruturas, sobretudo da fração lipídica e de derivados de carboidratos (furanos), nas amostras de solos tratados com ambos os resíduos orgânicos. O uso em conjunto das técnicas analíticas de RMN 13C e de Pi-CG/EM foi eficiente para avaliar as mudanças na composição molecular de ácidos húmicos decorrentes da adição de resíduos orgânicos de origem urbana.
