Background
The archaeal exosome is formed by a hexameric RNase PH ring and three RNA binding subunits and has been shown to bind and degrade RNA in vitro. Despite extensive studies on the eukaryotic exosome and on the proteins interacting with this complex, little information is yet available on the identification and function of archaeal exosome regulatory factors. 相似文献3.

We hypothesize that the energy strategy of a cell is a key factor for determining how, or if, the immune system interacts
with that cell. Cells have a limited number of metabolic states, in part, depending on the type of fuels the cell consumes.
Cellular fuels include glucose (carbohydrates), lipids (fats), and proteins. We propose that the cell's ability to switch
to, and efficiently use, fat for fuel confers immune privilege. Additionally, because uncoupling proteins are involved in
the fat burning process and reportedly in protection from free radicals, we hypothesize that uncoupling proteins play an important
role in immune privilege. Thus, changes in metabolism (caused by oxidative stresses, fuel availability, age, hormones, radiation,
or drugs) will dictate and initiate changes in immune recognition and in the nature of the immune response. This has profound
implications for controlling the symptoms of autoimmune diseases, for preventing graft rejection, and for targeting tumor
cells for destruction. 相似文献

Monitoring the sodium concentration in vivo using 23Na MRI can be an important tool for assessing the onset of tissue disorders. Practical clinical 23Na MRI methods furthermore often do not allow one to use sufficiently small voxel sizes such that only the tissue of interest is seen, but a large signal contamination can arise from sodium in synovial fluid. Here we demonstrate that applying an inversion recovery (IR) technique allows one to distinctly select either the cartilage-bound or the free sodium for visualization in an image. The results are validated both ex vivo and in vivo. 相似文献

In many practical situations scaling the data is necessary to solve linear programs. This note explores the relationships in translating the sensitivity analysis between the original and the scaled problems. 相似文献

A simple pulse sequence, derived from the shaped pulse optimally exciting the central transition of a spin 3/2, can be used to selectively detect ordered sodium with a given quadrupolar coupling. The pulse sequence consists of two pulses with opposite phases and separated by a delay, called a quadrupolar jump-and-return (QJR) sequence. This QJR sequence is tested with a phantom made of sodium ions in bacteriophage and in aqueous solution and its feasibility for contrast modification based on the quadrupolar coupling is demonstrated. 相似文献

The main objective of this article was (i) to refocus the residual dipolar and quadrupolar interactions in anisotropic tissues employing magic sandwich echo (MSE) imaging and to compare the results with that of conventional spin-echo (SE) imaging, and (ii) to quantify MSE relaxation and dispersion characteristics in bovine Achilles tendon and compare with spin-lattice relaxation time constant in the rotating frame (T(1rho)). Magic sandwich echo weighted images are approximately 75-100% higher in signal-to-noise ratio than the corresponding T(2)-weighted images. Magic sandwich echo relaxation times varied from 13+/-2 to 19+/-3 ms (mean+/-S.D.), depending upon the structural location of tendon. T(2) relaxation times only varied from 4+/-1 to 10+/-3 ms (mean+/-S.D.) on the same corresponding locations. Magic sandwich echo provides approximately 100% enhancement in relaxation times compared to T(2). Preliminary results based on bovine Achilles tendon and cartilage specimens suggest that the MSE technique has potential for refocusing residual dipolar as well as quadrupolar interactions in anisotropic systems and yields higher intensities than conventional SE imaging as well as T(1rho)-encoded imaging, especially at low-burst pulse amplitudes (250 and 500 Hz). 相似文献

Sodium MRI has been shown to be highly specific for glycosaminoglycan (GAG) content in articular cartilage, the loss of which is an early sign of osteoarthritis (OA). Quantitative sodium MRI techniques are therefore under development in order to detect and assess early biochemical degradation of cartilage, but due to low sodium NMR sensitivity and its low concentration, sodium images need long acquisition times (15-25 min) even at high magnetic fields and are typically of low resolution. In this preliminary study, we show that compressed sensing can be applied to reduce the acquisition time by a factor of 2 at 7 T without losing sodium quantification accuracy. Alternatively, the nonlinear reconstruction technique can be used to denoise fully-sampled images. We expect to even further reduce this acquisition time by using parallel imaging techniques combined with SNR-improved 3D sequences at 3T and 7 T. 相似文献

The theoretical basis of two-frequency saturation is given here in the framework of Provotorov theory. The parameters influencing the saturation efficiency are discussed and studied experimentally using a liquid-crystalline test system. It is shown that double-frequency irradiation can be extremely efficient when the irradiation frequencies are placed at opposite sides of the characteristic frequency of the spin system, and that the frequency separation in the double-frequency irradiation can be varied over a large range. Provotorov theory is also shown to provide good insights into the experimental findings, which would otherwise be difficult to obtain from simulations. 相似文献
