BACKGROUND: Up-regulation of vascular endothelin type B (ETB) receptors is implicated in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease. Culture of intact arteries has been shown to induce similar receptor alterations and has therefore been suggested as a suitable method for, ex vivo, in detail delineation of the regulation of endothelin receptors. We hypothesize that mitogen-activated kinases (MAPK)
Sera from 410 patients from the Wuhan area in the central part of China with the diagnosis of chronic liver disease were analyzed for markers of hepatitis B, C and D virus infections. All sera, plus liver biopsy specimens from 188 of the patients, were also tested for hepatitis B virus DNA by polymerase chain reaction. Sixty-eight percent were HBsAg positive in serum, whereas 29% showed markers of
PURPOSE: To characterize a deletion of chromosome 2q at the molecular level in a patient suffering from severe epilepsy resembling severe myoclonic epilepsy of infancy/Dravet's syndrome (SMEI/DS) and to correlate other cases harboring deletions in the same region to morphological and clinical data. METHODS: Array-based comparative genomic hybridization (array CGH) was performed on DNA from the pat
Patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) have a markedly increased risk to develop cardiovascular disease, and traditional cardiovascular risk factors fail to account for this increased risk. We used microarray to probe the platelet transcriptome in individuals with SLE and healthy controls, and the gene and protein expression of a subset of differentially expressed genes was further inves
Background: Several studies have shown associations between cadmium (Cd) exposure and an increased risk of fractures. However, the size of the risk is still unclear and proper adjustment for smoking is a challenge. The aim of this study was to quantify the association between dietary cadmium measured in blood and fracture risk in the general Swedish population through a large population-based case
On-chip optical communication between individual nano optoelectronic components is important to reduce the footprint and improve energy efficiency of photonic neuromorphic solutions. Although nanoscale photon emitters and receivers have been reported separately, communication between them remains largely unexplored. We demonstrate direct on-chip directional broadcasting of light between individual
Energy communities (ECs) are considered important in transitioning the energy system. They are of particular interest due to their potential to empower citizens and support a more just energy transition. However, experiences from ECs remain limited and vary across countries, thus raising questions on potential future advancements. In this article, we explore experiences from ECs in several Europea
We examine key characteristics of the work tasks of judges and prosecutors from a power and status perspective, discerning how emotions tie into this perspective. Analysis of court observations, interviews and shadowing of judges and prosecutors at four Swedish district courts and prosecution offices shows that power and status operate differently for the respective professions, resulting in disti
The complex and varied relationship found in intermolecular interactions within the photo-active layers plays a decisive role in determining the photovoltaic energy conversion and overall device performance of organic solar cells (OSCs). Among different approaches, the ternary blend strategy serves as an effective technique to control the morphology within the active layer in OSCs. In this work, P

The increased competition caused by the global economy we are facing has forced companies to develop well established corporate strategies. Merging or acquiring a company has for a long time been used by organizations as one of the main strategic tools for expanding globally or for entering new markets. The problem is that over 50 percent of the Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) fail by deliverin
