OBJECTIVES We examined the association between the features of the culprit lesion in coronary artery disease (CAD) and clinical presentation as shown by intravascular ultrasound (IVUS). BACKGROUND The association between coronary remodeling pattern and clinical presentation of CAD is unclear. METHODS We analyzed 125 selected patients who underwent preintervention IVUS. Acute myocardial infa...

We analyze the theoretical basis of three different methods to validate and intercompare satellite measurements of atmospheric composition, and apply them to tropospheric ozone retrievals from the Tropospheric Emission Spectrometer (TES) and the Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI). The first method (in situ method) uses in situ vertical profiles for absolute instrument validation; it is limited b...

The global budget of tropospheric ozone is governed by a complicated ensemble of coupled chemical and dynamical processes. Simulation of tropospheric ozone has been a major focus of the GEOS-Chem chemical transport model (CTM) over the past 20 years, and many developments over the years have affected the model representation of the ozone budget. Here we conduct a comprehensive evaluation of the...

We present an approach to reduce topographyrelated errors of vertical tropospheric columns (VTC) of NO2 retrieved from the Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) in the vicinity of mountainous terrain. This is crucial for reliable estimates of air pollution levels over our particular area of interest, the Alpine region and the adjacent planes, where the Dutch OMI NO2 product (DOMINO) exhibits signif...

Surface water is any source of above the surface earth, sources are lakes, rivers, streams, and even oceans. This major for drinking, agricultural domestic use in rural communities Nigeria. The aim this study was to determine bacteriological physicochemical parameters selected Ifaki Ekiti, Ekiti State, To achieve aim, samples were taken from Omi-Oniyo Omi-Igbo streams Ifaki-Ekiti examined using...

Liposome-based drug delivery system would be an innovative and promising candidate to circumvent multidrug resistance (MDR) of cisplatin (CDDP). However, the reversal efficacy of liposomal CDDP was severely impaired by weak cellular uptake and insufficient intracellular drug release. In this study, 3-octadecylcarbamoylacrylic acid-CDDP nanocomplex (OMI-CDDP-N)-based liposomes (OCP-L) with high ...

OBJECTIVES To explore the correlation between the severity of radiotherapy-induced glossitis (RTG) and endothelial cell injury in local tissues in a rat model. STUDY DESIGN The RTG animal model was designed and used by our team. The Oral mucositis index(OMI) was documented daily. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) Staining of CD34 was utilized to identify endothelial cells in the RTG tissues. Apoptos...

We use 2005–2009 satellite observations of formaldehyde (HCHO) columns from the OMI instrument to infer biogenic isoprene emissions at monthly 1× 1 resolution over the African continent. Our work includes new approaches to remove biomass burning influences using OMI absorbing aerosol optical depth data (to account for transport of fire plumes) and anthropogenic influences using AATSR satellite ...

A key step in the initiation of apoptosis is the release from the mitochondrial intermembrane space of cytochrome c and other pro-apoptotic proteins such as Smac/DIABLO, Omi/HtrA2, apoptosis-inducing factor (AIF), and endonuclease G (EndoG). Discrepancies have arisen, however, as to whether all these proteins are released in different systems. Our results suggest that failure to observe cytochr...
