Smoking is a common addiction and a leading cause of disease. Chronic nicotine exposure is known to activate nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) in immune cells. We demonstrate a novel role for a4 nAChRs in the effect of nicotine on T-cell proliferation and immunity. Using cell-based sorting and proteomic analysis we define an a4 nAChR expressing helper T-cell population (a4CD3CD4) and s...

Immunomodulatory actions of vitamin D have been recognised for over a quarter of a century, but it is only in the last few years that the significance of this to normal human physiology has become apparent. Two key factors have underpinned this revised perspective. Firstly, there are increasing data linking vitamin insufficiency with prevalent immune disorders. Improved awareness of low circula...

We consider the maximum integral tWo-Commodity flow problem in augmented planar graphs (i.e., with both source-sink edges added) and provide an o(IVI 2 1ogIVI) algorithm for that problem. Let G = (V, E) be a graph and w : E-t Z+ a weight function. Let T C V be an even subset of the vertices of G. A T-cut is an edge-cutset of the graph which divides T into two odd sets. Lomonosov gave a good cha...
