OBJECTIVE The Child Behavior Checklist-Dysregulation Profile (CBCL/DP) identifies youth at increased risk for significant psychopathology. Although the genetic architecture and several biological correlates of the CBCL/DP have been described, little work has elucidated its underlying neurobiology. We examined the potential utility of electroencephalography (EEG), along with behavioral and cogni...

Two possible approaches to reuse with design patterns (DPs) are described: pattern-based design and pattern-related code composition. For pattern-based design, a new representation of DPs similar to class diagrams as well as different modes for creating an instance of DP are proposed. Design patterns (DPs) [2] capture and communicate approved design solutions. DPs identify participants, their r...

Although distal pancreatectomy with en bloc celiac resection (DP-CAR) is used to treat locally advanced pancreatic cancer, the advantages and disadvantages of this surgical procedure remain unclear. The purpose of this study was to evaluate its clinical safety and efficacy.Studies regarding DP-CAR were retrieved from the following databases: PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and...

Research suggests that depressive personality (DP) disorder may represent a persistent, trait-based form of depression that lies along an affective spectrum ranging from personality traits to diagnosable clinical disorders. A significant gap in this area of research concerns the development of DP and its applicability to youth. The present research explored the construct of DP traits in youth. ...

PURPOSE Pancreatic body/tail cancer often involves the celiac axis (CA) and it is regarded as an unresectable disease. To treat the disease, we employed distal pancreatectomy with en bloc celiac axis resection (DP-CAR) and reviewed our experiences. METHODS We performed DP-CAR for seven patients with pancreatic body/tail cancer involving the CA. The indications of DP-CAR initially included tum...

The electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL) of Ru(dp-bpy):+ (dp-bpy = 4,4’-diphenyl-2,2’bipyridine) and Ru(dp-phen):+ (dp-phen = 4,7-diphenyl-l,lO-phenanthroline) in acetonitrile and aqueous solutions was studied. The diphenyl-substituted compounds produced a more intense emission than the nonsubstituted Ru(bpy):+ Ru(dp-phen):+ m acetonitrile. The ECL efficiencies, dECL, of Ru(dp-bpy):+ and we...

Dermal Papillae (DP) is a unique population of mesenchymal cells that was shown to regulate hair follicle formation and growth cycle. During development most DP cells are derived from mesoderm, however, functionally equivalent DP cells of cephalic hairs originate from Neural Crest (NC). Here we directed human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) to generate first NC cells and then hair-inducing DP-like...

OBJECTIVES To develop and apply an immunochemical approach to the study of drug-plasma protein conjugates derived from the anti-arthritic drug D-penicillamine (DP). METHODS An antiserum with specificity for protein-conjugated DP was raised in a rabbit. Plasma samples from patients receiving DP or from incubations of isolated normal plasma with DP were analysed for DP-derived conjugates by Wes...

We present several supergravity solutions corresponding to both Dp, as well as Dp−Dp′ systems, in NS-NS and R-R PP-wave background originating from AdS3×S×R. The Dp brane solutions, p = 1, .., 5 are fully localized, whereas Dp−Dp′ are localized along common transverse directions. We also discuss the supersymmetry properties of these solutions and the worldsheet construction for the p− p′ system.
