Spine. 2008 Jun 15;33(14):1509-16; discussion 1517 Authors: Levicoff EA, Kim JS, Sobajima S, Wallach CJ, Larson JW, Robbins PD, Xiao X, Juan L, Vadala G, Gilbertson LG, Kang JD STUDY DESIGN: Clinical, biochemical, and histologic analysis was performed after in vivo delivery of cDNA encoding various anabolic cytokines and marker genes to the lumbar epidural space of New Zealand white rabbits, using both adenoviral and adeno-associated viral vectors. OBJECTIVE: To mimic errant or misplaced doses of gene therapy to better ascertain the potential risks associated with alternative vectors and transgene products with regard to their application to problems of the intervertebral disc. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA: Work done with several anabolic cytokines including bone morphogenic proteins and transforming growth factors, has demonstrated the potential of gene therapy. Recently, data has been published demonstrating that improperly dosed or delivered adenoviral-mediated gene therapy within the subarachnoid space can result in significant morbidity in rabbits. There are currently no studies examining the effect of these errors within the epidural space or using an adeno-associated viral (AAV) Vector. METHODS: Using either adenoviral or AAV vectors, complementary DNA (cDNA) encoding anabolic cytokines bone morphogenic protein-2 (BMP-2) and tran ...

Related Articles A comprehensive comparison of random forests and support Vector machines for microarray-based cancer classification. BMC Bioinformatics. 2008;9:319 Authors: Statnikov A, Wang L, Aliferis CF BACKGROUND: Cancer diagnosis and clinical outcome prediction are among the most important emerging applications of gene expression microarray technology with several molecular signatures on their way toward clinical deployment. Use of the most accurate classification algorithms available for microarray gene expression data is a critical ingredient in order to develop the best possible molecular signatures for patient care. As suggested by a large body of literature to date, support Vector machines can be considered "best of class" algorithms for classification of such data. Recent work, however, suggests that random forest classifiers may outperform support Vector machines in this domain. RESULTS: In the present paper we identify methodological biases of prior work comparing random forests and support Vector machines and conduct a new rigorous evaluation of the two algorithms that corrects these limitations. Our experiments use 22 diagnostic and prognostic datasets and show that support Vector machines outperform random forests, often by a large margin. Our data also underlines the importance of sound research design in benchmarking and comparison of bioinformatics algorithms. CONCLUSION: We found that both on average and in the maj ...

Sci China C Life Sci. 2003 Jun;46(3):320-7 Authors: Ha X, Yuan B, Li Y, Lao M, Wu Z A complementary DNA (cDNA) encoding human hepatocyte growth factor was introduced into a replication-defective type 5 adenovirus (lacking E1, E3 domains) Vector by homologous recombination of intracellular plasmid DNA, thus a recombinant Vector containing HGF (Ad-HGF) was obtained. Ad-HGF and Ad-GFP (adenovirus Vector carrying green fluorescence protein gene) were expanded in 293 cells and purified by cesium chloride gradient centrifugation for large-scale preparation, then were infected to the primarily cultured scar fibroblast of rabbit ear to observe the transfer efficiency and expression level of HGF in vitro. To evaluate the effect of Ad-HGF on established scar Ad-HGF solution was injected into excessively formed scar, which bears some clinical and histologic similarities to human hypertrophic scars. The results showed that: (i) the transfer efficiency was 36.8% +/-14.1% on day 3 in primarily cultured scar fibroblasts treated with Ad-GFP and lasted more than 20 d; (ii) high-level expression of HGF protein was detected by means of ELISA in supernatant of scar fibroblasts treated with Ad-HGF, the amount of expression was 76 ng/4.0 x 10(5) cells on day 3; (iii) on day 32 after a single intradermal injection of Ad-HGF at differen ...

Related Articles A study of gene transfer and expression of human clotting factor IX in hemophilia B mice mediated by mini-adenoviral Vector. Sci China C Life Sci. 2003 Dec;46(6):631-640 Authors: Gao X, Ye C, Shi D, Chen L, Qiu X, Xue J Vector Gti'IX containing human clotting factor IX cDNAwith intron 1 (hFIX mini-gene or Fi'IX) driven by CMV promoter was constructed based on the mini-adenoviral Vector GT2073 (mini-Ad Vector) with all viral protein coding sequences deleted. Mini-Ad packaging cell 293Cre4 was first transduced with GTi'IX, and then was transfected with helper-adenovirus AdLC8, thus mini-Ad virions AdGTi'IX were obtained. At the same time, previous normal adenoviral Vector pAdSPi'IX containing viral genome and hFIX mini-gene was constructed, and then previous adenovirus (pre-Ad) AdSPi'IX was obtained as control. The ratio of helper-adenovirus among purified virons AdGTi'IX was less than 0.8%. 3T3 cells were transfected with AdGTi'IX and AdSPi'IX at a MOI of 50 per cell and ELISA result showed that transient expression level in vitro was 1.4 +/-0.2 mug /10(6) . 24 h and 1.6 +/-0.3 mug/10(6) . 24 h respectively. Each hemophilia B (FIX knock-out) mouse received celiac injection of 1x10(10) pfu AdGTi'IX or AdSPi'IX. The highest expression level of hFIX in mouse plasma was 590 ng/mL and 690 ng/mL respectively, and the expression time lasted for 16 weeks and 9 weeks respectively. The bleeding time reduced from over 30 min to 7. ...

Hello, I am the owner of a GT RTS All Terra Mountain Bike with Girvin Vector Forks. I took the bike in to be serviced and was told the the suspension had seen better days. I am thinking about replacing the suspension so that it works optimally again. I know nothing about suspension so I'd appreciate if if you could tell me the best way to go about improving the suspension cheaply (or at minimal cost). I've read something about converting to a spring instead of the elastomer (which has now gone rock hard). What do you think? read more ...
