No full textOutcome of medium-dose VP-16/CY/TBI superior to CY/TBI as a conditioning regimen for allogeneic stem cell transplantation in adult patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia
Get PDFThe choice of conditioning regimen before allogeneic stem cell transplantation (SCT) in patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is important. We retrospectively compared outcomes of medium-dose VP-16/cyclophosphamide/total body irradiation (VP/CY/TBI) regimen and CY/TBI. Five hundred and twenty-nine patients (VP/CY/TBI: n = 35, CY/TBI: n = 494) who met all of the following criteria were compared: first time for SCT, aged 15-59 years; first or second complete remission at SCT; bone marrow or peripheral blood as stem cell source; and HLA phenotypically matched donor. Median age of the patients was 34 years, and patients who received VP/CY/TBI were younger (28 years vs. 34 years, P = 0.02). Cumulative incidences of relapse and non-relapse mortality (NRM) were higher for patients who received CY/TBI (P = 0.01 for relapse, P < 0.01 for NRM). After a median follow-up period of 36.9 months, 5-year overall survival (OS) rates were 82.2% in the VP/CY/TBI group and 55.2% in the CY/TBI group. OS, and disease-free survival (DFS) in the VP/CY/TBI group were shown to be significantly better by multivariate analysis [hazard ratio: 0.21 (95% confidence interval: 0.06-0.49) for DFS, hazard ratio: 0.25 (95% confidence interval: 0.08-0.59) for OS]. VP/CY/TBI was associated with a lower relapse rate and no increase in NRM, resulting in better survival than that in CY/TBI for adult ALL patients

No full textA Recessive Lethal Gene, l-Cy, concealed in the Second Chromosome Balancer of Drosophila Melanogaster
Get PDFThe second chromosome balancer, SM 5[In(2(LR)SM 5)]Cy, has been used as a most useful tool to study the genetic variations in natural populations of Drosophila. melanogaster. The balancer suppresses recombination in almost whole region of the second chromosome since it has complicated inversions both in the right and left arms. It is lethal in the homozygous condition and it also has a dominant mutant, Cy, and several recessive mutations.Homozygous lethality has been explained by the presence of In(2 LR) or Cy itself. However, the cause of lethality is not necessarily clear. Recently, the author has found a recessive lethal gene in a natural population, which is allelic to these balancer chromosomes. In this short communication the author reports that the lethality of SM 5 chromosome in the homozygous condition is due to a recessive lethal gene, l-Cy (lethal Cy)
A Poetics of becoming: the mythography of Cy Twombly
No full textA Poetics of Becoming: The Mythography of Cy Twombly, centres upon Proteus, a painting made by the artist Cy Twombly in 1984. The chapter uses this particular work as a means of unpacking the artist's complex and manifold relationship with mythology. With regards to both the facture and the matiere of Proteus, the author argues that the visual poetics of the artist's work results from what is claimed to be the painting's "becoming

The aspect of racial identity being investigated focuses on individual’s perception of acceptance into various social networks on the University of Illinois campus. The author seeks to answer the following questions: How do people define their identity? How does appearance, nationality, ethnicity, and environment affect identity? Why do some CY students socialize only with the CY social networks while other CY students extend into main stream American social networks? How does economics factor into racial identity and does the “Push-Pull theory of migration” influence identity?Made available in DSpace on 2008-06-04T19:31:37Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 1

Isolation, identification, and fenvalerate-degrading potential of Bacillus licheniformis CY-012
No full textStrain CY-012 isolated from garden soil sprayed with pyrethroid pesticide was able to efficiently degrade fenvalerate. The bacterium was identified as Bacillus licheniformis based on its morphology, physiological and biochemical characteristics, and 16S ribosomal DNA gene analysis. Response surface methodology analysis showed that the optimum conditions for fenvalerate degradation were fenvalerate concentration of 44.04 mg L−1, pH 7.48, and ferric chloride concentration of 0.051% (w/v). Under these conditions, approximately 80.07% of fenvalerate was degraded within 60 h of incubation. Five metabolic compounds, including α-isopropyl-4-chlorobenzene acetic acid, 4-chlorobenzene acetic acid, 3-phenoxybenzyl alcohol, phenol and benzoic acid were detected during fenvalerate degradation and identified by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry. A possible degradation pathway of fenvalerate was proposed based on these identified metabolites. The results indicated that strain CY-012 could potentially be used to eliminate environmental contamination with pyrethroid insecticides
The effect of a shear bond in the Rankine method for the fire resistance of RC columns
No full textThe Rankine formula has been adopted by many natural codes for designing columns and frames at ambient temperature. The method had recently been adapted for structural fire resistance prediction by Tan and co-workers [Tang CY, Tan KH. Basis and application of a simple interaction formula for steel frames under fire conditions. J Struct Engrg ASCE 2001;127(10):1206-13; Tang CY, Tan KH, Ting SK. Basis and application of a simple interaction formula for steel columns under fire conditions. J Struct Engrg ASCE 2001;127(10): 1214-20; Tan KH, Tang CY. Interaction formula for reinforced concrete columns in fire conditions. ACI Struct J 2004;101(1):19-28; Tan KH, Tang CY. Interaction model for unprotected concrete filled steel columns under standard fire conditions. J Struct Eng 2004;130:1405-13]. The conventional Rankine method considers a linear interaction of two failure modes: plastic squashing and linear elastic buckling, ignoring the coupling interaction between the two modes. Consequently, the conventional method gives lower bounds to actual failure loads. This paper discusses the physical meanings of the Rankine approach and the effect of coupling interaction (termed "shear bond" for consistency with our earlier publications) between the collapse modes on the ultimate failure load. The purpose is to demonstrate that the Rankine method is a conservative, robust, and rational method for the structural design of columns under either ambient or elevated temperatures. The approach can be further adapted to provide more accurate failure load predictions by incorporating the shear bond effect into the Rankine formula. Material deterioration at elevated temperature and the resulting effects on the strength and stability of columns are also quantified. A computer code (SAFIR), developed at the University of Liege, was used to calibrate the modified Rankine method. © 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.link_to_subscribed_fulltex
