Investigating the Expression of Oncogenic and Tumor Suppressive MicroRNA in DLBCL.

Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common form of lymphoma, accounting for 40 percent of newly diagnosed cases each year. DLBCL is an aggressive abnormal growth of tissue characterized by the accumulation of abnormal B-lymphocytes in the lymphatics of affected individuals. The goal of this study was to analyze microRNA (miRNA) as an alternative method of diagnosis and treatment for patients affected with the observed cancer.

Modeling liquid crystal bilayer structures with minimal surfaces.

This paper describes a new convenient and accurate method of calculating x-ray diffraction integrated intensities from detailed cubic bilayer structures. The method is employed to investigate the structure of a particular surfactant system (didodecyldimethylammonium bromide in a solution of oil and heavy water), for which single-crystal experimental data have recently been collected. The diffracted peak intensities correlate well with theoretical structures based on mathematical minimal surfaces.

Cohort comparison study of children whose mothers have acquired immunodeficiency syndrome and children of well inner city mothers.

The virus or viruses (human immunodeficiency virus) associated with the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome may be transmitted in utero or perinatally from an infected mother to her baby. Infected adults may remain asymptomatic for months to years, during which time a mother could transmit the virus. It is not known to what degree a mother may transmit the virus perinatally or whether postnatal transmission is possible.

The co-occurrence of Reiter's syndrome and acquired immunodeficiency.

Thirteen patients who had the co-occurrence of severe Reiter's syndrome and the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) or its syndromes were studied. The arthritis was reactive in three patients and without defined cause in the others. Nine patients had HLA-B27.
