    The B-cell receptor in control of tumor B-cell fitness: Biology and clinical relevance

    No full text
    Surface expression of a functional B cell antigen receptor (BCR) is essential for the survival and proliferation of mature B cells. Most types of B-cell lymphoproliferative disorders retain surface BCR expression, including B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas (B-NHL) and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Targeting BCR effectors in B-NHL cell lines in vitro has indicated that this signaling axis is crucial for malignant B cell growth. This has led to the development of inhibitors of BCR signaling, which are currently used for the treatment of CLL and several B-NHL subtypes. Recent studies based on conditional BCR inactivation in a MYC-driven mouse B-cell lymphoma model have revisited the role of the BCR in MYC-expressing tumor B cells. Indeed, lymphoma cells losing BCR expression continue to grow unless subjected to competition with their BCR-expressing counterparts, which causes their elimination. Here, we discuss the molecular nature of the fitness signal delivered by the BCR to MYC-expressing malignant B cells, ensuring their preferential persistence within a rapidly expanding tumor population. We also review growing evidence of Ig-negative cases belonging to several B-NHL subtypes and CLL, and discuss the clinical implications of these findings in relation to an emerging picture of clinical resistances to anti-BCR therapies

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    No full text
    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

    Chromosome 7q allelic losses in pancreatic carcinoma

    During our DNA fingerprinting studies of paired normal and pancreatic cancer tissues using arbitrarily primed PCR, we noticed a band showing an apparent homozygous deletion in a pancreatic cancer cell line and a decreased intensity in a number of primary cancers. That band was assigned to chromosome 7. Such information led us to analyze chromosome 7 loss of heterozygosity (LOH) in a panel of 12 cryostat-enriched primary pancreatic cancers and 2 pancreatic cancer cell lines, despite the reportedly low frequency of chromosome 7 LOH in xenograft-enriched pancreatic cancers. Seventeen PCR-amplified CA-microsatellite polymorphic sites were analyzed. One of the two cell lines and eight common-type cancers (including all five poorly differentiated and three of five moderately differentiated cancers) showed chromosome 7q LOH, whereas the two uncommon types of ductal cancer (one adenosquamous and one mucinous noncystic) scored negative. Our data suggest that chromosome 7q LOH is a frequent event (80%) in cryostat-enrichable common pancreatic ductal carcinomas, that is, those primarily of high cellularity. The chromosome 7q smallest common deleted region described by our cases was between 7q31.1 and 7q32

    Simulation of thermal plant optimization and hydraulic aspects of thermal distribution loops for large campuses

    Following an introduction, the author describes Texas A&M University and its utilities system. After that, the author presents how to construct simulation models for chilled water and heating hot water distribution systems. The simulation model was used in a $2.3 million Ross Street chilled water pipe replacement project at Texas A&M University. A second project conducted at the University of Texas at San Antonio was used as an example to demonstrate how to identify and design an optimal distribution system by using a simulation model. The author found that the minor losses of these closed loop thermal distribution systems are significantly higher than potable water distribution systems. In the second part of the report, the author presents the latest development of software called the Plant Optimization Program, which can simulate cogeneration plant operation, estimate its operation cost and provide optimized operation suggestions. The author also developed detailed simulation models for a gas turbine and heat recovery steam generator and identified significant potential savings. Finally, the author also used a steam turbine as an example to present a multi-regression method on constructing simulation models by using basic statistics and optimization algorithms. This report presents a survey of the author??s working experience at the Energy Systems Laboratory (ESL) at Texas A&M University during the period of January 2002 through March 2004. The purpose of the above work was to allow the author to become familiar with the practice of engineering. The result is that the author knows how to complete a project from start to finish and understands how both technical and nontechnical aspects of a project need to be considered in order to ensure a quality deliverable and bring a project to successful completion. This report concludes that the objectives of the internship were successfully accomplished and that the requirements for the degree of Degree of Engineering have been satisfied
