This study investigated the development of mother-son relationship quality from ages 5 to 15 in a sample of 265 low-income families. Nonparametric random effects modeling was utilized to uncover distinct and homogeneous developmental trajectories of conflict and warmth; antecedents and outcomes of the trajectory groups also were examined. Four conflict trajectory groups and 3 warmth trajectory ...

A 5 meter toroidal grating (5m-TGM) beamline has been commissioned to deliver 28 mrad of bending magnet radiation to an ultrahigh vacuum endstation chamber to facilitate angle resolved photoelectron spectroscopy. The 5m-TGM beamline is equipped with Au-coated gratings with 300, 600 and 1200 lines/mm providing monochromatized synchrotron radiation in the energy ranges 25-70 eV, 50-120 eV and 100...

Mercury (Hg) is emitted to the atmosphere mainly as volatile elemental Hg0. Oxidation to water-soluble HgII plays a major role in Hg deposition to ecosystems. Here, we implement a new mechanism for atmospheric Hg0 /HgII redox chemistry in the GEOS-Chem global model and examine the implications for the global atmospheric Hg budget and deposition patterns. Our simulation includes a new coupling o...

Abstract. Most global atmospheric mercury models use offline and reanalyzed meteorological fields, which has the advantages of higher accuracy lower computational cost compared to online models. However, these products need past and/or near-real-time observational data cannot predict future. Here, we an component with tropospheric stratospheric chemistry (CAM6-Chem) state-of-the-art climate mod...

PURPOSE To establish cancer immunotherapy, it is important to identify the tumor-associated antigens (TAA) that are strongly expressed in the tumor cells but not in the normal cells. In this study, to establish an effective anticancer immunotherapy, we tried to identify the useful TAA of pancreatic cancer. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN Based on a previous genome-wide cDNA microarray analysis of pancrea...

BACKGROUND Pterygium is a common ocular surface disease characterized by abnormal epithelial and fibrovascular proliferation, invasion, and matrix remodeling. This lesion, which migrates from the periphery to the center of the cornea, impairs vision and causes considerable irritation. The mechanism of pterygium formation remains ambiguous, and current treatment is solely surgical excision, with...

Abstract. High-quality atmospheric mercury (Hg) data are rare for South America, especially its tropical region. As a consequence, dynamics still highly uncertain in this This is significant deficiency, as America appears to play major role the global budget of toxic pollutant. To address issue, we performed nearly 2 years (July 2014–February 2016) continuous high-resolution total gaseous (TGM)...

OBJECTIVE Mutations in the cardiac sodium channel gene SCN5A are responsible for type-3 long QT disease (LQT3). The genesis of cardiac arrhythmias in LQT3 is multifaceted, and the aim of this study was to further explore mechanisms by which SCN5A mutations lead to arrhythmogenesis in vivo. METHODS We engineered selective cardiac expression of a long QT syndrome (LQTS) mutation (N1325S) in hum...

BACKGROUND Measurement of thyroglobulin (Tg) protein in the washout of the needle used for fine needle aspiration biopsy cytology (FNAB-C) has been shown to increase the sensitivity of FNAB-C in identifying cervical lymph node (CLN) metastasis from well-differentiated thyroid cancer (TC). In this study, we evaluated whether routine measurement of Tg protein (FNAB-Tgp), Tg mRNA (FNAB-Tgm) and ca...

Mercury (Hg) is a global pollutant that has gained monumental attention in recent decades due to its neurotoxicity and great bioaccumulation features. The atmosphere plays key role the movement of Hg environment, residential combustion significant contributor atmospheric Hg. However, there severe lack research on impact emissions from Southeast Asia (SEA). This study focused illustrate contribu...
