Työn tavoitteena on etsiä asiakasyritykselle sähköteknisen dokumentoinnin hallintaan sopiva järjestelmäratkaisu vertailemalla insinööritoimistojen käyttämien suunnittelujärjestelmien ja yleisten dokumenttien hallintajärjestelmien soveltuvuutta asiakasympäristöön. Työssä tutkitaan sopivien metatietojen kuvaustapojen käyttökelpoisuutta sähköteknisen dokumentoinnin hallintaan esimerkkiprojektien avulla. Työn sisältö koostuu neljästä pääkohdasta. Ensimmäisessä jaksossa tarkastellaan dokumentin ominaisuuksia ja elinkaarta luonnista aktiivikäyttöön, arkistointiin ja hävitykseen. Samassa yhteydessä kerrotaan dokumenttienhallinnan perustehtävistä. Toisessa jaksossa käsitellään dokumenttien kuvailun tavoitteita, kuvailusuosituksia ja -standardeja sekä luonnollisen kielen käyttöä sisällönkuvailussa. Tarkastelukohteina suosituksista ovat W3C:n julkaisemat suositukset, Dublin Core, JHS 143 ja SFS-EN 82045. Kolmannessa jaksossa tarkastellaan teollisuuden dokumentoinnin ominaispiirteitä ja käyttötarkoitusta. Teollisuudessa on monia erilaisia järjestelmäympäristöjä tehtaan sisällä ja työssä kuvataan dokumenttienhallinnan integrointitarpeita muihin järjestelmiin. Viimeisessä jaksossa kuvaillaan erilaisia dokumentoinnin hallintaympäristöjä alkaen järeimmästä päästä tuotetiedon hallintajärjestelmistä siirtyen pienempiinsuunnittelujärjestelmiin ja lopuksi yleisiin dokumenttien hallintajärjestelmiin. Tässä osassa on myös luettelo ohjelmistotoimittajista. Työn tuloksena on laadittu valituista dokumenttityypeistä metatietokuvaukset kahden eri kuvaustavan (JHS 143 ja SFS-EN 82045) avulla ja on todettu molemmat kuvaustavat käyttökelpoisiksi sähköteknisen dokumentoinnin käsittelyyn.Nämä kuvaukset palvelevat asiakasta dokumenttienhallintaprojektin määrittelytyössä. Asiakkaalle on tehty myös vertailu sopivista järjestelmävaihtoehdoista hankintaa varten.

The prevalence of undernutrition was prospectively studied in 143 patients before liver transplantation between 1997 and 2005. Nutritional assessment is a particularly tricky problem in cirrhosis and mid-arm muscle circumference is considered as the best reliable anthropometric tool. In this prospective study, prevalence rate is very high (61%) and undernutrition is more frequent in alcoholic cirrhotic patients. In conclusion, these patients should benefit from an early dietician intervention before liver transplantation.

Abstract: Purpose: NY-ESO-1 (ESO), a tumor-specific antigen of the cancer/testis group, is presently viewed as an important model antigen for the development of generic anticancer vaccines. The ESO119-143 region is immunodominant following immunization with a recombinant ESO vaccine. In this study, we generated DRB1*0101/ESO119-143 tetramers and used them to assess CD4 T-cell responses in vaccinated patients expressing DRB1*0101 (DR1). Experimental Design: We generated tetramers of DRB1*0101 incorporating peptide ESO119-143 using a previously described strategy. We assessed ESO119-143-specific CD4 T cells in peptide-stimulated post-vaccine cultures using the tetramers. We isolated DR1/ESO119-143 tetramer(+) cells by cell sorting and characterized them functionally. We assessed vaccine-induced CD4(+) DR1/ESO119-143 tetramer(+) T cells ex vivo and characterized them phenotypically. Results: Staining of cultures from vaccinated patients with DR1/ESO119-143 tetramers identified vaccine-induced CD4 T cells. Tetramer(+) cells isolated by cell sorting were of T(H)1 type and efficiently recognized full-length ESO. We identified ESO123-137 as the minimal optimal epitope recognized by DR1-restricted ESO-specific CD4 T cells. By assessing DR1/ESO119-143 tetramer(+) cells using T cell receptor (TCR) beta chain variable region (V beta)-specific antibodies, we identified several frequently used V beta. Finally, direct ex vivo staining of patients' CD4 T cells with tetramers allowed the direct quantification and phenotyping of vaccine-induced ESO-specific CD4 T cells. Conclusions: The development of DR1/ESO119-143 tetramers, allowing the direct visualization, isolation, and characterization of ESO-specific CD4 T cells, will be instrumental for the evaluation of spontaneous and vaccine-induced immune responses to this important tumor antigen in DR1-expressing patients

Objective¦Joint hypermobility (JH) and Joint Hypermobility Syndrome (JHS) are often underdiagnosed¦and were never specifically assessed in a selected population of chronic low back pain¦(LBP). This study aimed to assess JH and JHS among a population with chronic LBP using the¦Beighton and the Brigthon criteria.¦Methods¦We conducted a retrospective cross-sectional study based on a prospective data base¦among 143 patients with non-specific chronic LBP. Patients were seen by the same rheumatologist,¦who looked for JH and JHS and took their medical history. Data were analysed using logistic¦regression.¦Results¦We found a JH prevalence of 33,3% (CI 95% 22.0-44.6) among women and 21,4% (11.7-¦31.2) among men, and for JHS, of 37,9% (26.0-49.8) among women and 30,9% (19.7-42.0) among¦men. JH was less frequent among people older than fifty (P < 0.02). JHS was more prevalent among¦Swiss individuals (P < 0.01) and among individuals having a non-manual job (P<0.03) compared to¦there opposites. Patients having an important limitation for daily living activities were four times¦more likely to have JHS. Degenerative spinal disorders were negatively associated with JH (OR¦0.31 (0.13-0.73) and JHS (OR 0.31 (0.14-0.68).¦Conclusion¦A high prevalence of joint hypermobility was found in our population. JHS should be¦part of differential diagnosis in individuals with chronic non-specific LBP.

A computer program to adjust roadway profiles has been developed to serve as an aid to the county engineers of the State of Iowa. Many hours are spent reducing field notes and calculating adjusted roadway profiles to prepare an existing roadway for paving that will produce a high quality ride and be as maintenance free as possible. Since the computer is very well adapted to performing long tedious tasks; programming this work for a computer would result in freeing the engineer of these tasks. Freed from manual calculations, the engineer is able to spend more time in solving engineering problems. The type of roadway that this computer program is designed to adjust is a road that at sometime. in its history was graded to a finished subgrade. After a period of time, this road is to receive a finished paved surface. The problem then arises whether to bring the existing roadway up to the de signed grade or to make profile adjustments and comprise between the existing and the design profiles. In order to achieve the latter condition using this program, the engineer needs to give the computer only a minimum amount of information.

Abstract Background: Micro RNAs are small, non-coding, single-stranded RNAs that negatively regulate gene expression at the post-transcriptional level. Since miR-143 was found to be down-regulated in prostate cancer cells, we wanted to analyze its expression in human prostate cancer, and test the ability of miR-43 to arrest prostate cancer cell growth in vitro and in vivo. Results: Expression of miR-143 was analyzed in human prostate cancers by quantitative PCR, and by in situ hybridization. miR-143 was introduced in cancer cells in vivo by electroporation. Bioinformatics analysis and luciferase-based assays were used to determine miR-143 targets. We show in this study that miR-143 levels are inversely correlated with advanced stages of prostate cancer. Rescue of miR-143 expression in cancer cells results in the arrest of cell proliferation and the abrogation of tumor growth in mice. Furthermore, we show that the effects of miR-143 are mediated, at least in part by the inhibition of extracellular signal-regulated kinase-5 (ERK5) activity. We show here that ERK5 is a miR-143 target in prostate cancer. Conclusions: miR-143 is as a new target for prostate cancer treatment.
