    Random growth statistics of long-chain single molecule poly-(p-phenylene vinylene) (2001)

    Notes: Structures of poly-(p-phenylene vinylene) (PPV) were generated using a random growth algorithm. The algorithm assumes that the configuration of a part of the polymer (a few monomers length) can be sampled from the configuration of a PPV trimer. The probabilities of the configurations of the trimer are taken as the Boltzmann weight of the energies. We constructed several types of polymers with different numbers of cis-defects which were added to the polymer either uniformly or randomly distributed within the entire polymer. Polymer characteristics, such as conjugation length, end-to-end distance, and radius of gyration, were also calculated. The trends of these characteristics were found to be inversely proportional with the number of cis-defects in the polymer. Although average conjugation lengths are generally independent of the distribution of cis-defects, the morphology of the polymer is dependent on cis-defect distribution. This suggests that conformational disorder rather than cis-defect density is the determining factor in exciton localization and diffusion in these systems. Finally, we derive a simple model similar to the Ising model that relates the energy needed to break conjugation to the average conjugation length. © 2001 American Institute of Physics.

    The Importance of the Phagocytes' Innate Response in Resolution of the Infection Induced by a Low Virulent Candida albicans Mutant (2005)
    Oxford, UK; Malden, USA : Blackwell Science Ltd

    Notes: We have reported that a Candida albicans mkc1Δ/mkc1Δ mutant, deleted in the Mkc1p mitogen-activated protein kinase, an essential element of the cell integrity signalling pathway, has reduced virulence in a murine model of systemic infection. We analyse here the immunological basis for this feature in view of its failure to vaccinate. Firstly, the influence of the Th response was analysed by infecting different knockout mice, revealing the importance of interferon-γ in the resolution of mkc1 systemic infection. Secondly, the role of innate immunity was studied. The infection of neutropenic mice revealed that the candidacidal activity of neutrophils is crucial during the first 3 days of infection for the mutant strain. Macrophages played a critical role in the clearance of infection. Although a similar anti-Candida activity was found for both fungal strains with naïve macrophages, activated macrophages discriminated between both strains. In vitro experiments revealed that the mutant strain displayed a greater susceptibility to nitric oxide (NO), a reduced inhibitory effect on macrophage NO production and an increased capacity of macrophage stimulation by cell wall extracts. The importance of NO in systemic infection with the mutant strain was confirmed by the strong increase in the susceptibility of aminoguanidine (an iNOs inhibitor)-treated mice.

    Intensive care medicine 23 (1997), S. 23-30

    Notes: Abstract Objective: To determine the incidence and prognosis of candidemia in non-neutropenic critically ill patients, to define mortality-related factors, and to evaluate the results of systemic antifungal therapy. Design: A prospective multicenter survey in which medical and/or surgical intensive care units (ICUs) in 28 hospitals in Spain participated. Patients: All critically ill patients with positive blood cultures for Candida species admitted to the participating ICUs over a 15-month period were included. Interventions: Candidemia was defined as the presence of at least one positive blood culture containing Candida species. The follow-up period was defined as the time elapsed from the first positive blood culture for Candida species to discharge or death during hospitalization. Antifungal therapy was considered to be “early” when it was administered within 48 h of the date when the first positive blood culture was obtained and “late” when it was administered more than 48 h after the first positive blood culture. Measurements and main results: Candidemia was diagnosed in 46 patients (mean age 59 years), with an incidence of 1 critically ill patient per 500 ICU admissions. The species most frequently isolated were Candida albicans (60%) and C. parapsilosis (17%). Fluconazole alone was given to 27 patients, amphotericin B alone to 10, and sequential therapy to 6. Three patients did not receive antifungal therapy. The overall mortality was 56% and the attributable mortality 21.7%. In the univariate analysis, mortality was significantly associated with a higher Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) II score at the onset of candidemia (p=0.04) and with the time elapsed between the episode of candidemia and the start of antifungal therapy 48 h or more later (p〈0.02). Patients with an APACHE II score lower than 21 at the onset of candidemia had a higher probability of survival than patients who were more seriously ill (p=0.04). Patients with “early” antifungal therapy (≤48 h between the onset of candidemia and the start of antifungal therapy) had a higher probability of survival compared with patients with late therapy (p=0.06). No significant differences were noted between the two groups on different antifungal therapy. Conclusions: The incidence of candidemia in ICU patients was very low. An APACHE II score 〉20 at the time of candidemia was associated with a higher mortality. Further studies with a large number of patients are needed to assess the effect of early antifungal therapy on the decrease in mortality associated with candidemia and to determine the appropriate dosage of fluconazole and duration of treatment.

    Ethnic groups and biological diversity in medieval Spain: analysis of a Jew Necropolis from Sevilla (1986)
    Springer
    International journal of anthropology 1 (1986), S. 145-152

    ISSN: 1824-3096
    Keywords: Medieval Spain ; Ethnic cranial variability ; principal component analysis

    Topics: Biology
    Notes: Abstract The skulls and mandibles of adults individuals from a Jewish necropolis of Sevilla (La Buhayra), (V–IX Cent. A.D.) have been analyzed. The results show that Sevillian Jews, both males and females, present narrow skulls with a notable dolichocrany. Sexual differences in both the height of the skull and the mandible robustness have been found. A comparison between Sevillian Jews and other Iberian samples from different epochs (Neolithic-Bronze to Centuries A.D.) has been carried out by means of a principal component analysis taken only into account the variability between groups. Results of the analysis showed a certain degree of biological differentiation between Sevillian and Catalonian Jews (XI–XIVth Centuries A.D.) which can be justified not only by the geographical distance and the temporal gap between the two groups, but also by the intrinsic heterogeneity of Jews (Nathan, 1961a, b; Nathan et al., 1963; Arensburg et al., 1980). The existence of some degree of biological variability between several ethnic-religious groups (Jew, Christians and Moslems) can be detected although they share a common Mediterranean background.

    Notes: Summary The absorption rate of nitrogen (N) fertilizer labelled with15N was studied during the flowering and fruit set periods inCitrus mitis Bl., trees grown in sand culture. The absorbed N was concentrated preferentially in ovaries, young fruits, new flush leaves and new flush twigs, but N supplied to these organs comes mostly from the N reserve in old leaves, old twigs and stem, and roots, and less than 3% of the absorbed N reached ovaries and young fruits. Nitrogen translocation to young fruits was higher during the fruit set period. Spring leaves were an essential organ since they received a large portion of the absorbed N and were quickly converted into a supplying organ. Old leaves, old twigs and stem, and roots supplied a great deal of N to developing organs; during fruit set, their N supply was replenished with N coming from fertilizer. During flowering, trees absorbed 30 mg per 1000g of whole tree (dry weight) and per day. During fruit set, this amount increased considerably.
