Controversies in the treatment of follicular lymphoma
No full textThe overall prognosis of patients with follicular lymphoma has substantially improved over the last decades with a 10-year overall survival of around 80% for the majority of patients. However, for most patients follicular lymphoma it is still a relapsing and remitting disease. Furthermore, certain subsets of patients still have much shorter survival. Currently, there is no established standard how to treat high-risk follicular lymphoma. With advances in the understanding of the biology and pathogenesis of B cell malignancies, a plethora of new compounds have been investigated in FL. These compounds have the potential to increase efficacy if added to current regimens or even replace them. The implementation of these compounds in treatment algorithms is another unsolved issue. This overview highlights major controversies in the treatment of follicular lymphoma and discusses the most recent and relevant clinical trials

Nanostructure-driven complex magnetic behavior of Sm2CoMnO6 double perovskite
No full textMagnetic double perovskite oxides have steadily emerged as an important class of functional materials. A clear understanding of the complex interactions that govern the magnetic behavior, and thereby, the functionality in these mixed valence compounds, however, remains elusive. In this study, we show that the complex nanostructure that forms in these compounds is at the root of their magnetic behavior. Using complementary experimental and micromagnetic simulation results, we have uncovered the complex nanostructure of polycrystalline Sm2CoMnO6, a typical double perovskite oxide, and established how the nanostructure drives its magnetic behavior. Our results show that Sm2CoMnO6 exhibits a Griffiths phase with the formation of ferromagnetic clusters above the ordering temperature. The isothermal magnetization curves show no sign of saturation, even at the highest measured field (9 T), and irreversibility in the entire magnetic field range. Despite a very clear indication of the presence of antiferromagnetic antisite defects, surprisingly, no antisite defect-induced exchange bias occurs. This is explained from the micro magnetic simulations that confirm the presence of ferromagnetic nanoclusters and nanosized, random, and uncorrelated antisite defects, resulting in no exchange bias. This work provides a clear understanding of the role of antisite defects, in particular, on how their structure can lead to the presence/absence of exchange bias. The fundamental insight offered in this work fills an important knowledge gap in the field and will be of immense value in realizing the true potential of double perovskite oxides for future technological applications.

Influence of aromatic substituents on the supramolecular architectures of monoorganooxotin drums
No full textThe reaction of n-BuSn(O)(OH) with various substituted benzoic acids affords hexameric organostannoxane drums, [n-BuSn(O)OC(O)R]6, where R = 2,6-(CH3)2-C6H3 (1), 4-CH3-C6H4 (2), 4-NH2-C6H4 (3) and 2-NH2-C6H4 (4). The central stannoxane motif (Sn6O6) is similar in all these compounds and is surrounded by six substituted benzoate groups. All the drums show an extensive supramolecular organization in the solid state. Accordingly, drum 1 forms a one-dimensional supramolecular assembly mediated by noncovalent interactions such as C-H···O and π ···π interactions. Similarly, drums 2-4 form interesting three-dimensional supramolecular assemblies mediated by C-H···O, N-H···N, C-H···π , and π ···π interactions in the solid state. The role of the peripheral aromatic substituents in determining the final course of the supramolecular assembly is discussed

Wilson (1982), Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar (1983), William A. Fowler (1983), Carlo Rubbia (1984), Simon van der Meer (1984), and Klaus von Klitzing (1985) indicated high variations: No. of Synchronous References ranged from 24 (Meer) to 283 (Siegbahn); Synchronous Self-References ranged from 5 (Rubbia) to 88 (Siegbahn); synchronous references to others ranged from 10 (Chandrasekhar) to 255 (Wilson); Synchronous Self-Reference Rates ranged from 6.66 % (Rubbia) to 65.51 % (Chandrasekhar); Single-Authored References ranged from 15 (Klitzing) to 160 (Wilson); Multi-Authored References ranged from 4 (Chandrasekhar) to 194 (Siegbahn); Collaboration Coefficient in the synchronous references ranged from 0.14 (Chandrasekhar) to 0.75 (Klitzing); and Recency (age of 50 % of the latest references) ranged from 2 (Klitzing) to 18 (Chandrasekhar) years. Seventy five per cent of the references belonged to journal articles. Highly referred journals were Astrophysical Journal, Physical Review B, Physical Review Letters, Arkiv Fuer Fysik, Surface Science, Physics Letters, and IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science.

Depolarization and decreased surface expression of K+ channels contribute to NSAID-inhibition of intestinal restitution
No full textNon-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) contribute to gastrointestinal ulcer formation by inhibiting epithelial cell migration and mucosal restitution; however, the drug-affected signaling pathways are poorly defined. We investigated whether NSAID inhibition of intestinal epithelial migration is associated with depletion of intracellular polyamines, depolarization of membrane potential (Em) and altered surface expression of K+ channels. Epithelial cell migration in response to the wounding of confluent IEC-6 and IEC-Cdx2 monolayers was reduced by indomethacin (100μM), phenylbutazone (100μM) and NS-398 (100μM) but not by SC-560 (1μM). NSAID-inhibition of intestinal cell migration was not associated with depletion of intracellular polyamines. Treatment of IEC-6 and IEC-Cdx2 cells with indomethacin, phenylbutazone and NS-398 induced significant depolarization of Em, whereas treatment with SC-560 had no effect on Em. The Em of IEC-Cdx2 cells was: −38.5±1.8mV under control conditions; −35.9±1.6mV after treatment with SC-560; −18.8±1.2mV after treatment with indomethacin; and −23.7±1.4mV after treatment with NS-398. Whereas SC-560 had no significant effects on the total cellular expression of Kv1.4 channel protein, indomethacin and NS-398 decreased not only the total cellular expression of Kv1.4, but also the cell surface expression of both Kv1.4 and Kv1.6 channel subunits in IEC-Cdx2. Both Kv1.4 and Kv1.6 channel proteins were immunoprecipitated by Kv1.4 antibody from IEC-Cdx2 lysates, indicating that these subunits co-assemble to form heteromeric Kv channels. These results suggest that NSAID inhibition of epithelial cell migration is independent of polyamine-depletion, and is associated with depolarization of Em and decreased surface expression of heteromeric Kv1 channels.ID: S0006295207001931; M3: Article; Accession Number: S0006295207001931; Author: L.C.
