A new gradient-corrected exchange functional (G96) is introduced. While similar to Becke’s B88 functional, it is much simpler and its potential in ® nite systems is asymptotically unbounded. The mean absolute deviations of the B88 and G96 exchange energies from the corresponding Hartree-Fock values for the atoms H to Ar are 12 ± 5 and 8 ± 5 mE h , respectively. In combination with the LYP corre...

A single point mutation in a novel immune-associated nucleotide gene 5 (Ian5) coincides with severe T cell lymphopenia in BB rats. We used a transgenic rescue approach in lymphopenic BB-derived congenic F344.lyp/lyp rats to determine whether this mutation is responsible for lymphopenia and to establish the functional importance of this novel gene. A 150-kb P1 artificial chromosome (PAC) transge...

Human type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) arises through autoimmune destruction of pancreatic beta cells and is modeled in many respects by the lymphopenic and spontaneously diabetic BioBreeding (BB) DRlyp/lyp rat. Previously, preonset expression profiling of whole DRlyp/lyp pancreatic lymph nodes (PLN) revealed innate immune activity, specifically that of mast cells and eosinophils. Furthermore, w...

Synchronization is one of the most important characteristics dynamic systems. For this paper, authors obtained results for nonlinear systems controller custom two 4D The findings have allowed to develop analytical approaches using second Lyapunov (Lyp) method and Gardano method. Since does not involve development special positive Lyp functions, it very efficient convenient achieve excessive sys...

We have used tumor-homing peptides to target abraxane, a clinically approved paclitaxel-albumin nanoparticle, to tumors in mice. The targeting was accomplished with two peptides, CREKA and LyP-1 (CGNKRTRGC). Fluorescein (FAM)-labeled CREKA-abraxane, when injected intravenously into mice bearing MDA-MB-435 human cancer xenografts, accumulated in tumor blood vessels, forming aggregates that conta...

The recent article by Negro et al represents a thorough investigation into the effect of Lyp, the gene product of PTPN22, on BCR signaling in the pathogenesis and progression of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL).1 This study shows that increased Lyp enhances Akt, a serine/threonine kinase involved in cell survival and tumorigenesis, despite a negative effect on proximal BCR signaling molecules...

We report the case of a 59-year-old woman with type A regional lymphomatoid papulosis (LyP) that was localized to the left breast, a cutaneous area that had received radiotherapy for treatment of a carcinoma of the breast 5 years prior. This report is a rare example of regional LyP with all lesions located in an area of prior radiotherapy.

AIMS The Gimap gene family has been shown to be integral to T cell survival and development. A frameshift mutation in Gimap5, one of seven members of the Gimap family, results in lymphopenia and is a prerequisite for spontaneous type 1 diabetes (T1D) in the BioBreeding (BB) rat. While not contributing to lymphopenia, the Gimap family members proximal to Gimap5, encompassed within the Iddm39 qua...

BACKGROUND The spectrum of diseases that constitute the CD30+ lymphomas, with lymphomatoid papulosis (LyP) at one end, and anaplastic large-cell lymphoma (ALCL) at the other end, shows variable morphology, immunophenotype, and clinical behavior. The border between these diseases is sometimes difficult to establish and there are many grey zones in their classification. METHODS We reviewed the ...
