No full textIntroduction. While erectile dysfunction (ED) and cardiovascular disease have long been known to share endothelial dysfunction as a common contributory underlying mechanism, little research has been conducted taking endothelial dysfunction as common ground to investigate the potential association between ED and gastric ulcers (GUs). ;Aim. This population-based case-control study aimed to investigate the association of ED with GU. ;Methods. This study used data from the Longitudinal Health Insurance Database 2000 in Taiwan. The study group comprised 6,906 patients who visited ambulatory care centers or were hospitalized with a diagnosis of ED. The comparison group was 20,718 randomly selected enrollees. Conditional logistic regression was used to examine associations between ED and prior GU. ;Main Outcome Measure. The prevalence and risk between cases and controls were calculated of having been previously diagnosed with GU. ;Results. Of the sampled subjects, 3,861 (14%) were diagnosed before the index date, 1,358 (19.7%) were cases, and 2,503 (12.1%) were controls (P < 0.001). After adjusting for hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, renal disease, coronary heart disease, obesity, alcohol abuse/alcohol dependence syndrome, and socioeconomic status (SES), conditional logistic regression analysis revealed that cases were more likely to have been diagnosed with GU than controls (odds ratio [OR] = 1.65, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.53-1.77). Stratification by age revealed that the youngest group (18-29) of ED patients had the most increased likelihood of having been previously diagnosed with GU when compared with matched controls (OR = 4.12, 95% CI = 2.41-7.03). The likelihood decreased with age, with the oldest group of ED patients having the least increased likelihood of prior GU when compared with matched controls (OR = 1.44, 95% CI = 1.23-1.68). ;Conclusion. Our findings suggest a positive association between prior GU and a subsequent diagnosis with ED. Keller JJ, Lin H-Yu, Chung S-D, and Lin H-C.

LIN-2 and FRM-3 regulate the synaptic abundance but not surface expression level of AChRs.
No full text(A-D) ACR-16::RFP and UNC-29::RFP synaptic abundance were decreased in lin-2null and frm-3null mutants. Representative images (A, C, scale bar 10 μm) and mean puncta intensity (B, D) are shown. The wild type is normalized to 1. (E-H) ACh- and Levamisole-activated currents were unaltered in lin-2null and frm-3null mutants. Representative traces (E, G) and mean current amplitude (F, H) are shown. (I, J) GABA-activated currents were decreased by 50% in lin-2null mutants but were unchanged in frm-3null mutants. Data are mean ± SEM (***, p < 0.001 when compared to control; one-way ANOVA). The number of worms analyzed for each genotype is indicated in the bar.</p
A 2 h periodic variation in the low-mass X-ray binary Ser X-1
No full textSpectroscopy of the low-mass X-ray binary Ser X-1 using the Gran Telescopio Canarias have revealed a ?2 h periodic variability that is present in the three strongest emission lines. We tentatively interpret this variability as due to orbital motion, making it the first indication of the orbital period of Ser X-1. Together with the fact that the emission lines are remarkably narrow, but still resolved, we show that a main-sequence K dwarf together with a canonical 1.4 M? neutron star gives a good description of the system. In this scenario, the most likely place for the emission lines to arise is the accretion disc, instead of a localized region in the binary (such as the irradiated surface or the stream-impact point), and their narrowness is due instead to the low inclination (?10°) of Ser X-1
