    Human bladder carcinoma cell line 5637 encapsulated in alginate microbeads: release of interleukins, chemokines and growth factors.

    We have developed a microencapsulation procedure for the entrapment and manipulation of the human bladder carcinoma cell line 5637. This cell line is a well-known source of hematopoietic cytokines. For istance 5637 cell line-conditioned medium (5637 CM) is used for the culture of growth factor–dependent hematopoietic primary cells and cell lines. The applied method is based on the generation of monodisperse droplets by a vibrational nozzle; for the microbeads hardening, an ionic alginate encapsulation procedure was utilized. Our results demonstrate that the microencapsulation procedure do not alter the viability of the encapsulated 5637 cells. Moreover, the encapsulated 5637 cells have been characterized for secretomic profile using Bio-Plex system. The obtained results demonstrated that most of the analyzed proteins were secreted by both the free and encapsulated cells with an almost superimposable pattern. In both cases, the most released proteins were G-CSF, VEGF, IL-8, GM-CSF, IP-10, IL-6, PDGF-BB, IL1ra, INF-gamma Finally, we determined whether 5637 CM obtained from encapsulated 5637 cells sustain the proliferation of primary erythroid cell cultures isolated from normal donors. The results demonstrate this 5637 CM stimulates the proliferation of erythroid precursor cells and maintain their capacity of erytho-differentiate and produce Hb. In conclusion, the described encapsulation procedure represents a promising strategy to utilize encapsulation of secreting cells in alginate microbeads, as a very interesting approach for biotechnology applications in tissue engineering and biomedicine

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

    Variations on the Author

    “Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    Get PDF
    We provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis

    miR-203 enhances cytotoxicity of cisplatin on 5637 and T24 bladder cancer cells.

    <p>(A) miR-203 expression levels in 5637 and T24 cells transfected with miR-203 mimics/negative control. miR-203 levels were significantly increased in cells transfected with miR-203 mimics compared with cells transfected with negative control (*<i>P</i><0.001, t test, n = 6). (B, C) Concentration-dependent curves for 5637 and T24 cell lines transfected with miR-203 mimics and negative control at 24h. Cell viabilities of miR-203-overexpressing cells were dramatically reduced when compared with negative control cells at 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30μM cisplatin (all at <i>P</i><0.05, t test). (D) Flow cytometry analysis for apoptosis via double staining of cells with Annexin V FITC and propidium iodide (PI). (E) Quantification analysis of apoptosis shown in Fig 2B. Overexpression of miR-203 significantly augmented apoptosis in 5637 and T24 cell lines (*<i>P</i><0.01, t test, n = 6). (F) TUNEL assay indicated 5637 and T24 cell lines transfected with miR-203 mimics showed elevated levels of DNA cleavage compared with normal control (40×). Cells were stained with DAPI and subjected to TUNEL assay to detect DNA and apoptotic cells.</p

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    We conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more sophisticated methods
