Suicidal deaths and behavior in young people are major public health concerns. This study investigated the role of childhood sexual abuse (CSA), self-esteem, childhood gender nonconformity (CGN) and parental attachment in predicting suicidal ideation and attempts in 1203 (696 women) Turkish university students. Participants filled in a self-report questionnaire containing questions about suicid...

From Astragalus membranaceus (Fisch.) Bge.var. mongholicus (Bge.) Hsiao, astragaloside IV (AS-IV), a saponin can be purified and is considered traditional Chinese medicine. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the AS-IV-mediated mechanism on chronic glomerulonephritis (CGN). A cationic bovine serum albumin-induced CGN rat model established 10, 15, or 20 mg/kg AS-IV administered measure ren...

This paper reports on an experiment aimed at measuring the quality o f automatic and human phonetic transcriptions of different speech styles that were produced within the framework o f a large speech corpus project for Dutch, the Spoken Dutch Corpus (C orpus Gesproken Nederlands, CGN). The results indicate that the procedure adopted in the CGN to improve the quality o f phonetic transcriptions...

The purpose of this article is to present a method for industrial process diagnosis with Bayesian network, and more particularly with Conditional Gaussian Network (CGN). The interest of the proposed method is to combine a discriminant analysis and a distance rejection in a CGN in order to detect new types of fault. The performances of this method are evaluated on the data of a benchmark example...

Cerebellar granule neurons (CGNs) exploit Bergmann glia (BG) fibres for radial migration, and cell-cell contacts have a pivotal role in this process. Nevertheless, little is known about the mechanisms that control CGN-BG interaction. Here we demonstrate that the actin-binding protein profilin1 is essential for CGN-glial cell adhesion and radial migration. Profilin1 ablation from mouse brains le...

Although there are two variants of Dutch, the northern variant being the one used in the Netherlands and the southern variant in Flanders (Belgium), one corpus of spoken Dutch is under construction, the Spoken Dutch Corpus (CGN). In this paper first the principles of this corpus will be discussed, thereafter a few small case studies will show what the merits of such a corpus are.

Recent studies have shown that the nuclear factor I (NFI) family controls multiple stages of the postmitotic differentiation of cerebellar granule neurons (CGNs). Regulation of cell-cell signaling is an integral part of this NFI program, which involves expression of the cell adhesion molecules N cadherin and ephrin B1 throughout postmitotic CGN development. Here, we identify two additional down...

PURPOSE In crescentic glomerulonephritis (CGN), the development of cellular bridges between podocytes and parietal epithelial cells (PECs) triggers glomerular crescent formation. However, the sequential changes in glomerular ultrastructure in CGN are not well defined. This study investigated the time course of glomerular ultrastructure in experimental CGN. METHODS Transmission electron micros...

Crescents are morphologic manifestations of severe glomerular injury. Several chemokines and their receptors have been demonstrated to be involved in animal models of crescentic glomerulonephritis (cGN) and are potential targets for therapeutic interventions. Therefore, the expression of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), its receptor chemokine receptor 2B (CCR2B), and CCR5 in human cG...
