Novel variants in growth differentiation factor 9 in mothers of dizygotic twins

Context: Genes from the ovarian bone morphogenetic signaling pathway (GDF9 and BMP15) are critical for normal human fertility. We previously identified a deletion mutation in GDF9 in sisters with spontaneous dizygotic (DZ) twins, but the prevalence of rare GDF9 variants in twinning families is unknown. Objective: The objective was to evaluate the frequency of rare variants in GDF9 in families with a history of DZ twinning. Design and Subjects: We recruited 3450 individuals from 915 DZ twinning families (1693 mothers of twins) and 1512 controls of Caucasian origin. One mother of DZ twins was selected from 279 of the 915 families, and a DNA sample was screened for rare variants in GDF9 using denaturant HPLC. Variants were confirmed by DNA sequencing and genotyped in the entire sample by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time of flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry. Results: We found two novel insertion/deletions (c.392-393insT, c.1268-1269delAA) and four missense alterations in the GDF9 sequence in mothers of twins. Two of the missense variants (c.307C > T, p.Pro103Ser and c.362C > T, p.Thr121Leu) were located in the proregion of GDF9 and two (c.1121C > T, p.Pro374Leu and c.1360C > T, p.Arg454Cys) in the mature protein region. For each variant, the frequencies were higher in cases compared with controls. The proportion of mothers of DZ twins carrying any variant (4.12%) was significantly higher (P < 0.0001) than the proportion of carriers in controls (2.29%). Conclusion: We describe new variants in the GDF9 gene that are significantly more common in mothers of DZ twins than controls, suggesting that rare GDF9 variants contribute to the likelihood of DZ twinning.

PÊNDULO ANCORADO EM MINI-IMPLANTES - ANÁLISE EM MODELOS DIGITAIS

A distalização dos molares superiores é uma opção de tratamento da má oclusão de Classe II, quando o envolvimento é principalmente dentoalveolar. Dispositivos intrabucais como o aparelho Pêndulo, dispensam a colaboração do paciente quanto ao uso, porém promovem efeitos muitas vezes indesejáveis como a vestibularização dos dentes anteriores que participam na ancoragem e a inclinação dos molares distalizados. Após o surgimento dos Dispositivos de Ancoragem Temporária (DATs), como o mini-implante pode-se alcançar a ancoragem de forma previsível e eficiente. Com isto, por meio de um estudo prospectivo, foram avaliadas as alterações dentárias, promovidas pela distalização de molares superiores com um aparelho Pêndulo modificado, apoiado em dois mini-implantes instalados no palato de 10 indivíduos, sendo 2 do sexo feminino e 8 do masculino, com média de idade de 14,3 anos. A amostra foi composta por 20 modelos digitalizados em 3D, obtidos de em duas fases: no início do tratamento (T1) e após distalização com sobrecorreção de 1 mm (T2), permitindo quantificar as alterações dentárias sagitais, transversais e possíveis movimentos de rotação, angulação e movimentos verticais. Os resultados obtidos mostraram que no sentido sagital, houve uma efetiva distalização com significância estatística, para os segundos molares superiores; primeiros molares superiores em média de 4,34 mm e 3,91mm para o lado direito e esquerdo, respectivamente, e para os segundos pré-molares do lado direito e esquerdo de 2,06 mm e 1,95 mm, respectivamente. Porém, para os dentes anteriores, foi constatada a perda de ancoragem. No sentido transversal, o maior aumento ocorreu na região dos dentes posteriores. Os movimentos de rotação, angulação e vertical dos primeiros molares superiores, indicam que houve rotação mesiovestibular e inclinação distal das coroas destes dentes de ambos os lados; as medidas verticais, demonstram que houve movimento significativo apenas para o primeiro molar direito, com inclinação distal pela intrusão da cúspide distal. Este dispositivo mostrou-se eficaz na correção da Classe II em um tempo médio de 6,2 meses.(AU)

Typical performance of gallager-type error-correcting codes

The performance of Gallager's error-correcting code is investigated via methods of statistical physics. In this method, the transmitted codeword comprises products of the original message bits selected by two randomly-constructed sparse matrices; the number of non-zero row/column elements in these matrices constitutes a family of codes. We show that Shannon's channel capacity is saturated for many of the codes while slightly lower performance is obtained for others which may be of higher practical relevance. Decoding aspects are considered by employing the TAP approach which is identical to the commonly used belief-propagation-based decoding.

Portfólióelméleti modell szerinti optimális nyugdíjrendszer

Az optimális nyugdíjrendszer elmélete iránt az utóbbi években folyamatos érdeklődés mutatkozik, ami a demográfiai folyamatokkal és a gazdasági helyzet alakulásával is magyarázható. Az összefüggések sokfélesége következtében az optimális nyugdíjrendszer is többfajta megközelítésben elemezhető. Ez a tanulmány portfólióelméleti modellben foglalkozik a nyugdíjrendszer optimális szerkezetének meghatározásával. A tanulmányban alkalmazott megközelítés szerint lehetséges a tőkefedezeti nyugdíjrendszerekben előforduló (pénzügyi) befektetési lehetőségek és a felosztó-kirovó nyugdíjrendszerbeli "befektetés" közös - a kockázat és hozam összefüggésével foglalkozó elméleti - modellben való elemzése. Az optimális nyugdíjrendszer összetétele, illetve a tőkefedezeti és felosztó-kirovó elven működő elemek nyugdíjrendszeren belüli optimális megoszlása ezen elméleti megközelítés alapján a nyugdíjrendszerben részt vevő egyének optimális portfólióválasztása alapján is meghatározható.

Mentor in the Third Age: A Learning Perspective

Older adults can bring decades of knowledge and expertise to the mentoring table. We explore where older adults serve as mentors and the educational benefits they derive from mentoring, in light of prejudices ascribed through ageism. As mentors, older adults can remain engaged and continue to find meaning beyond retirement.
